I have been challenged with building the Information Technology Teams to build Tegna’s organization and technology platforms following a spin-off from Gannett. I owned the execution, contract negotiation, and issue management functions, while essentially sourcing and hiring a brand-new team. I oversaw $50M in operating and capital expenses, identifying long-term planning and capital projects. I navigated multiple mergers and acquisitions and divestitures, managing technology spin-offs and/or integration. I ensure constant system availability for a 24/7 operation, constantly identifying synergies, cost savings opportunities, and new ways to improve the employee experience through technology. I also ensure availability by optimizing business recovery in the case of disruption due to incident or other business disruption.Highlights:-Achieved $700K in annual cost reduction by consolidating and reducing telephony (telecommunications) costs, engaging technology leaders in the field and finance professionals to identify every local telecom cost across the company to reduce vendors and migrate to a single platform.-Increased cyber preparedness from a recovery and protection perspective, implementing new firewall platforms after negotiating contracts at a $6M savings over previous terms.-Negotiated $25M in data circuit contracts, adjusted for inflation, providing 10X the capacity of the previous infrastructure.-Contracted with and stood up circuit providers for 5 Corporate, 2 co-located data centers, AWS, and 2 additional technology providers. -Implemented automation and orchestration platforms, driving efficiencies in employee onboarding, off-boarding, and user self-service, automating the entire employee account creation and access capability.
