Foundation To Support Animal Protection

• Non-profit Organizations
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Information Technology Manager

  • 2013 - Present

  I oversee engineering and technical teams while managing the day-to-day operations of enterprise systems, business technologies, and special projects required to support the administrative and business functions of the PETA organization. A big part of my role is collaborating with executive leadership to understand business goals and gather requirements while translating information to technical teams, building workflows, and setting user expectations when leveraging enterprise systems. I manage infrastructure, networks, and enterprise software applications for a globally dispersed team of over 600 staff, driving the critical work of PETA, the largest animal rights organization in the world. I also develop, implement, and uphold corporate IT policies and standard operating procedures while controlling access and permissions within a data-heavy, highly secure environment susceptible to threats and vulnerabilities. I also lead a six-person team of technical support, configuration management, analysts, and help desk professionals, including network engineers driving vendor management and cybersecurity initiatives. Over my tenure at PETA, I’ve also spearheaded special projects, capital improvements, and enterprise integrations to ensure the digital transformation and ongoing progression of the organization into current and innovative technologies. Highlights include: - Migrating enterprise systems from local networking into cloud-based systems aligned with current technology. - Deploying, updating, and administering Mac and Windows OS, Office 365, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Salesforce systems. - Introducing Cisco solutions for VPN capabilities while driving the migration to OKTA for improved identity management, access controls, and permissions configurations.
