About Alison Kassel

Senior business technology leader with extensive experience developing and bridging strategy and execution, delivering solutions, building high performing teams, and establishing a culture characterized by results, empowerment, accountability, respect, problem-solving, and personal growth.I believe that Information Technology must be aligned to business goals, and that solutions need to be developed and deployed on technologies that enable today, yet are positioned for tomorrow. To ensure success, solutions must be planned and implemented in partnership with key stakeholders, and based on the organizations ability to assimilate and embrace change. Leadership is a cornerstone to organization and customer satisfaction, and ensures focus, pride, delivery, and continuous improvement. My approach to business can best be summarized as ensuring that the right things are done, at the right time, for the right reasons, with the right resources, the right way.
