“If the proposed initiative or expenditure does not directly support an enterprise strategy, goal or objective then it is not a priority” is my approach to Technology governance. I believe that gaining a deep understanding of the challenges facing each business function/unit and identifying the corresponding market-leading technologies is the key to success as an IT leader. I bring over 20 years’ experience in building trusted relationships and high-performing motivated teams and delivering winning solutions across multiple industries.Given my track record of successful delivery of application and infrastructure projects, efficient processes, cost reduction, standards and policies, my key strength is aligning IT and Business strategies leveraging my Accounting, Finance (CPA, MBA) and IT management experience. As CIO in several companies covering the Construction, Logistics, and Retail industries, I exceeded expectations by always treating my business peers and primary vendors as trusted partners and leveraging the latest technology to meet or exceed the goals and objectives of the enterprise. I started my career as a management consultant at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) where I learned the importance of providing outstanding client service and how to correctly manage medium and large projects to a successful completion. I was then recruited by one of my clients, General Mills Restaurants (now Darden), where I was moved annually through various IT, accounting and finance management positions as part of a fast track executive program.
