ABOUT ABDER BOUKOUR
INNOVATION SOPHISTICATION RESOLUTIONAccomplished IT Executive specializing in building and growing Enterprise Architecture practices in Fortune 500 companies. I move IT departments from a cost center to a business partner.My experience as a leader across the IT landscape of Fortune 500 companies enables me to successfully drive digital transformation that aligns IT strategy with business objectives and the overall organizational mission. In today\'s technology-driven world, having a holistic and tested leadership approach is critical to navigating the complexities of large technology infrastructures successfully, and then solving technology architecture challenges rather than simply servicing outdated and incompatible platforms. Such challenges often include assessing trends and emerging technologies like AI and blockchain to determine the best ways to integrate these tools into the organization’s operating systems, while at the same time building replicable decision-making pathways that all areas of the business can understand and follow. My experience allows me to review existing assets and systems, then thoughtfully build a north star architecture that the entire organization can understand, refer to, and align towards.INNOVATION: Led core business applications modernization and transformation SOPHISTICATION: Established a mature enterprise organization with enterprise and domain architects RESOLUTION: Created business capabilities mapping for the enterprise and IT roadmap INNOVATION: Increased speed of delivery and scalability by moving the organization to a microservices architecture and DevSecOpsSOPHISTICATION: Developed multi-Cloud Strategy, Cloud governance, Cloud decision tree for Cloud adoption and Cloud migrationRESOLUTION: Reduced order delivery from days to minutes by creating API strategy to transform B2B interfaces to Apigee APIs INNOVATION: Built highly effective global Technology Consulting Practice from the ground up; recruited, hired, and mentored top Solutions Architects across multiple regionsSOPHISTICATION: Defined and built service portfolio, created collateral, and ensured alignment with Sales & Marketing/Business Development and Presales effortsRESOLUTION: Decreased cost of service delivery by 15% year-over-year while improving customer satisfaction by implementing executive and operational domain scorecards for key decision-makers
