About Carl Kessler

As companies adapt to changing market or regulatory conditions they need to transform. I specialize in leading technology teams through that transformation, building teams that can deliver repeatably and with solid ROI. I have a unique mix of experience designing and deploying technology on large and small scales including demonstrated depth at the application, infrastructure and security domains. More significantly, I’ve driven the design and adoption of shared services to an annual reuse benefit of $20mm while establishing teams that consistently exceed expectations. I am a catalyst and consensus builder delivering sustained organizational change in an IT shop of over a FTE while also building new teams in shops under 300. I have taken on ever increasing challenges, ones others would not touch, and successfully delivered.As a manager, I draw out the learning opportunities in each situation to develop the next generation of company leaders.Specialties: • Financial Analysis & Planning• Multi-Year Planning• Information Security • Organizational Alignment• Enterprise Architecture• Business Resiliency• Application & Infrastructure Architecture• Team Development • IT Cost Recovery• Project Lifecycle & SDLC Design• Coaching• GSLC (GIAC Security Leadership Certificate)
