About Duane Breeden
Director at CLA | M&A | Digital | Technology CIO | Private Equity AdvisorFor over 30 years, I’ve been focused on the strategic use of technology to improve business operations and the customer experience, primarily for Communications Service Providers (CSPs) and Private Equity portfolios companies. My experiences as an advisor and executive-in-residence for private equity firms and as a former communications industry CIO give me an understanding of the pressures facing investors and CEOs.My expertise in this area allows me to help the C-suite understand options and make strategic decisions that lead a company to market quickly while allowing the company to scale when ready.
