About Vernon Crawford
Accomplished IT consultant and project lead specializing in digital transformation, enterprise systems integration, and organizational change leadership across higher education and public-sector environments.At the San Diego Community College District (SDCCD), I led the district-wide Single Sign-On (SSO) implementation—a project that unified access across mySDCCD, PeopleSoft (HCM, Finance, Campus Solutions), and multiple student-facing platforms—streamlining access for over users while strengthening data security and compliance.This initiative also helped the district achieve a major Graham-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) compliance milestone, marking SDCCD as one of the first community college districts in California to reach this standard.Previously, I earned my Six Sigma Black Belt from General Electric and led the company’s first certified Six Sigma project for El Pollo Loco, reducing drive-through cycle times by 33% and generating $25 million in annualized throughput improvements. That experience shaped my career-long focus on operational excellence, process improvement, and measurable outcomes.Today, I continue to partner with leadership teams, IT organizations, and academic institutions to deliver transformation initiatives that align technology, people, and process—turning complex change into sustainable success.
