We build and evolve software products, provide exceptional talent to augment teams, and transition teams to full Agile development using a “build with you” approach to provide the personalized change your team needs. We measure our success by your success. As CIO and a partner, I play a key role in the executive, client acquisition, and technology teams to generate revenue for our clients from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. I am strongly focused on bringing success for each and every client. Key responsibilities include: • Engage senior executives to define business needs, establish technology roadmaps, and align plans with goals for growth, profitability, and risk management. • Develop and implement IT solutions that improve performance, efficiency, and capabilities. • Lead architectural and delivery discussions with client and internal technical teams with a core focus on Lean Agile development delivering project milestones on time, on budget, and on target. As I was promoted through a series of progressive roles, I am driven to mentor other team members as they work on professional growth. I contribute to our culture of commitment and ongoing education with my passion for technology. I eagerly and actively participate in the recruitment, testing, hiring, and growth of every hire—every Genecian. Always a tech geek, I do still sit down and code with fluency in multiple languages, frameworks, and technologies and experience in a wide variety of industries including healthcare, retail, fintech, transportation, and software. I can’t let my teams have all the fun without me.
