ABOUT SUN DANG
A strategic technology executive with over 20 years of experience leading global IT organizations, including at a multi-billion dollar enterprise. I specialize in architecting and executing large-scale digital transformations, leveraging enterprise systems, cloud platforms, and AI to drive significant business growth and operational excellence. My focus is on being a strategic partner to the business and delivering technology that enables innovation and exceptional user experiences.My career has been defined by leading high-impact initiatives. As an example, I led a major, enterprise-wide transformation to modernize our core financial and supply chain systems. This culminated in the successful migration to a new ERP platform, and by optimizing our financial processes, we improved the monthly close cycle by two full days, directly impacting our multi-billion dollar business.A key part of my role has also been architecting and executing our company\'s comprehensive cloud strategy. I’ve led the migration of major capabilities to the cloud, including our collaboration platforms, creative tools, and media production systems. This has not only improved uptime and reliability across the enterprise but also built a future-ready, scalable foundation for a leading global business.On the business side, I have a proven track record of enabling growth through technology. A key career highlight was spearheading the IT integration of two strategic acquisitions. By rapidly consolidating the systems and infrastructure of both companies, my team and I enabled the business to successfully expand into new, high-growth areas, including original video content and the European market. On the cybersecurity front, I led a comprehensive PCI compliance initiative. By completing a full gap analysis and spearheading the initial implementation, my team and I not only secured our payment data but also enabled critical new e-commerce revenue streams for the business.My focus is on leading transformational initiatives that deliver tangible business value. I am open to discussing how my experience in cloud strategy, enterprise systems, and innovation can help other organizations achieve their growth objectives.
