In a rare external Emerson C-Suite hire, I was recruited to Emerson Electric as VP & CIO in 2004 to create a company-wide, centralized IT strategy capable of synergizing the $20B business by laying the foundation for information sharing across the businesses. Facing a company culture skeptical of central initiatives, I set about to organically grow an IT Shared Services model capable of improving business unit support while maintaining less than 2% total IT spend. Starting from scratch, I built management, governance, communications and shared computing infrastructure (including central e-mail directory, information security and web presence) while garnering stakeholder buy-in.KEY RESULTS FROM THIS ROLE:▶ Assisted the business to shorten internal supply times by 50%, reducing costs and increasing frequency with a global logistics hub that allowed Asian businesses with disparate systems to comingle shipments.

I was recruited to assist the CEO in an aggressive plan to recognize synergies across the $10B global conglomerate by implementing shared services. Midway through the transformation, changing business priorities necessitated a shift back to a business unit model to facilitate divestitures. New strategy required me to negotiate an early exit from an outsourcing arrangement and create the operational and governance processes to allow for seamless operation during and post transition.
