I have been a successful Business unit and Corporate CIO in mid-size companies for 20 years. In all of these roles I have provided successful strategic direction to these organizations and cost effectively aligned IT with the goals of the business. Due to the flat nature of the IT organizations that evolved to support these businesses, I developed an intimate and tactical understanding of the technologies and services that my teams were providing. I have managed IT for global organizations and provided the requisite infrastructure and business applications to support them. I have extensive M&A experience and familiarity with organizational integrations and restructurings.Throughout my career I have been able to consistently attract and develop IT talent and significantly raise the level of IT’s contribution to the business. I have a proven track record of effectively revamping IT organizations and delivering projects on time and within budget while driving costs out of IT and the business.Specialties: •IT Leadership; IT alignment; Cost control & effective business process improvements; Sales, Operations, Global ERP (JDE), Global Financial (Hyperion) systems; Data Center and Network Ops; Knowledge and Content Management; Desktop Production tech; Customer service; 3rd party Onshore / Offshore support; Organizational Change Management; Supply Chain Optimization; M&A due diligence and integrations; Business Transformation; Corp Dashboard Development
