About Bob Bruns
Strategy | Advisory | Security | Technology | Education | Leadership Development | M&A | Cloud | Data | Microsoft As the CIO and CISO of Avanade, I bring a greater alignment to the technology we implement, and the security of the environment necessary to grow and scale as a business. Every day I work with my team and our clients to demonstrate best practices in moving to the cloud while continuously improving security posture and mitigating risks. I’m proud to lead a dynamic and diverse team that spans the globe, and I find great personal fulfillment in championing even individual as they navigate fulfilling careers here at Avanade. I am also very proud to be a part of the University of Washington. As a Foster School of Business faculty member teaching the Master\'s Program for Information Systems and on the Advisory Board for UW Tacoma School of Engineering & Technology. Both of these roles allow me to give back and help shape our future workforce. Outside of work you can find me enjoying time with my family, my daughters are both active in soccer leagues and that keeps us on our toes. I enjoy working out both in the gym and outdoors, and when time allows you can find me working on a project in my wood workshop. While we’ve been in Seattle for some time, you can still find me rooting for most of the Chicago sports teams LinkedIn Messages and connection requests are responded to within a business week.
