Managed the Voice and Data infrastructure upgrade to 31 floors of 180 Maiden Land that included the installation of a new AVAYA 83xx host and chassis to support the entire downtown campus, along with the complete retrofit of some 60 IDF and MDF closets to support approximately 2500 users.

AIG Global Investment Group

• Vice President

  • 1999 - 2008

  Designed and implemented AIG’s first automated system for the management of logical user access to all databases, applications and systems within AIG Investments. This system was designed to roll up into the AIG Identity Management Standard once implemented by AIGGS. The system successfully managed and passed the previous SAS70 and SOX404 audits as conducted by Ernst and Young, Price, Waterhouse, Coopers and the Securities and Exchange Commission for our IT controls. In 2003 AIG Investments initiated a downtown consolidation plan of its offices that were located in various AIG and non AIG locations into the 70 Pine Street location. This project required my technology team to not only design and move over 700 employees into 7 floors of AIG, but required a complete build out of a tier 3 data center and construct a trading floor using IPC trading systems called the Alliance 300. We partnered with Sector Communications, Bloomberg, Reuters and IPC on the migration of over 96 broker dealer lines and circuits to ensure that the cut over was seamless and no trade operations would be affected. The move was completed on time and without a single trading system or circuit failure. In 1999 I initiated a project to design and implement AIG’s first disaster recovery site complete with 60 workstations and a real time replication system that backed up all application and financial data to a recovery facility in Jersey City. Contracted with SunGard Recovery Services group and obtained an AIG Investments dedicated facility complete with storage space to house all back up tier 1 production data and applications. Negotiated a deal with AT & T, Bloomberg, and AIGT to port previously identified phones, services, and information to the facility if a declaration was enacted. Show less
