In today’s world, data and systems are merely building materials. A CIO is a bit like being a master craftsman. I use analysis, development, rewards, and the occasional unwieldiness of uncertainty, as the foundation, tools and scaffolding to make your materials meaningful. The result is both architecture and art. My drive for strategic planning and innovation, mixed with a touch of humor allows me to build trusted systems and leaders that stand the test of time through storms and doubt.
