Val Mcgovern, Ccma Email & Phone Number

Beyond the skill and knowledge that I contribute each day, I am committed to being a steady presence that my team can depend on and learn from. With over 20 years of management experience, I’ve been a part of enormous growth and change at William Blair. My role in that growth has been to guide the organization’s IT, Audio & Visual and Telecommunications strategies through a period of dramatic advances in technology. In one crucial project, I researched, identified and rolled out a new enterprise-wide telecom system, upgrading the phone systems for all of our offices, globally, and coordinating the training for over 1200 end users.In another pivotal project, I participated in the relocation of our headquarters, working closely with the relocation project team to develop and redesign the A/V technology. With a multi-million dollar budget, my team and I identified new systems and solutions, executed a roll out across 14 floors and ensured that all team members were trained and comfortable with this new technology.With each new project, I am focused on asking the right questions and involving the right people and resources to arrive at solutions. I firmly hold the belief that technology is only as valuable as the people and conversations surrounding it. I am active in a number of organizations, training and on-going discussions on the topic of diversity and inclusion. In my role as a leader and member of a global team, and as a world traveler, I understand that how we communicate and engage with one another will only broaden our horizons and set us up for future successes. My greatest opportunities for gratification come from working closely with my team and equipping them with the knowledge and training that will help them to be successful in their roles. I encourage open dialogue and seek out opportunities for coaching, mentoring and knowledge sharing so that we can all learn from one another.
