About Drew Rhodes

The goal is to turn data into information, and information into insight.” – Carly Fiorina Beginning my career in technology over 20 years ago, I began seeing how technology is optimally used to service, support, and strengthen a successful business. Earning promotions from DBA to. Data Warehouse Analyst, Product Director, Technical Product Director, and Senior IT Manager — I developed leadership skills and gradually took on increasing responsibility including taking over project leadership, overseeing major migrations, upgrades, enhancements, and automations. I negotiated and collaborated with diverse 3rd party vendors to accomplish specialized tasks. Over the course of my career, I’ve become known as a Subject Matter Expert in using creative problem solving, technical acumen, business knowledge, and a “can do” attitude to consistently exceed what was thought to be possible. My peers would say about me that I excel in synergizing technical and business knowledge to innovate analytics, business intelligence technologies, and creative technical solutions to drive business success and ensure optimal efficiency. I pride myself on effective leadership that empowers teams to synergize their individual strengths and maximize team productivity. Consistently delivering the most complex projects within budget, schedule, and scope, I leverage creativity, a strong work ethic, and dedication to success in exceeding client expectations.
