I’m a builder! Ever since I was a kid, I loved building things. First, I’d follow the instructions in the box to complete the set, then the real fun began. I would spend hours upon hours redesigning, improving, expanding, and rebuilding more and more elaborate things. This passion for building has continued to this day and defines who I am both inside the office and out. When not at work I’m doing house projects, and as often as possible, join my favorite volunteer organization, Habitat for Humanity. I’ve been a Volunteer Skilled Supervisor with Habitat for over a decade and have been blessed to have helped more than 50 deserving families make their life’s dream of homeownership a reality.My passion for building has driven my career, and today I am an accomplished Technology Executive with extensive and proven Digital Transformation Leadership by bridging the gap between business objectives and information technology strategies. I’ve been fortunate to have worked with some of the best companies around the world in roughly equal parts as a management consultant and an industry leader.My career is a consistent progression through management levels highlighted with a proven track record of success. I believe my achievements can be attributed to my passion for driving business results through digital transformation and a unique ability to bring business executives and IT professionals to align and collaborate. It is this combination of skills which have earned me the Technologist’s seat at the Business Leadership table.I also speak multiple languages, fluent in German, and my experience covers a broad geographic spectrum. I have lived and worked from coast-to-coast within the US, to Switzerland, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, England, and Malaysia.Areas of Expertise:Digital Transformation CIO/CTO/COO | Technology Function Executive Leadership | Technology Strategy and Planning | Application Development | Mobile & Online Experience | CxO Advisory | Enterprise Information Management | Information and Data Quality | Enterprise Architecture | Global Corporate Back Office Business Transformation and System Implementation | IT Controls and Governance | Regulatory Response Planning | Operational Risk Management | Enterprise Software Management | Master Data Management | Business IntelligenceIf you would like to connect, please reach out via LinkedIn or email at robert@friedrich.us
