Experience

1. Chief Information Officer (CIO)

   Shepley Bulfinch

   Sep 2012 — Present · Boston, MA, US

   Transformed an under-performing IT department into a high-performing business-focused and service-oriented group. Developed relationships throughout the company, and created trust, pride, and confidence in the IT department. Worked with company leaders to tightly integrate the IT department with the rest of the business, helping the firm make progress toward its strategic business goals. Increased employee collaboration through use of video phones, HD video conferencing, & process standardization, allowing for more effective project delivery across geographic boundaries. Rolled out a social-enabled corporate Intranet, which encouraged teamwork, a more active exchange of ideas, and stronger connections between employees in all offices. Simplified the existing IT infrastructure, creating a more stable, easier to manage system. This resulted in less down time and freed up IT resources for new projects. Decentralized key IT systems, ensuring a consistent experience between offices. By shifting to targeted cloud-based services, the company is now better able to tie costs to headcount. Implemented technologies allowing for a more seamless technology platform across wide geographic distances resulting in more flexible staffing, more collaboration between offices, and more cohesive teams.
