As an IT executive with over 30-years of experience I've worked closely with senior business leaders as well as in the trenches as an engineer and developer, across a broad span of industries. This experience includes W.W. Grainger, a Fortune 500 company with $10 billion in annual sales, being the dominant business-to-business supplier of maintenance, repair, and operational supplies used by electricians, plumbers, building staff, and painters; the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, consistently ranked in the top tier of pediatric institutions nationally; the University of New England in Maine, the leading provider of health professionals in the state and with study abroad opportunities including its' Tangier, Morocco campus, the first American university to be established in that country; and Schawk, a leading international provider, of digital and design services for consumer-products packaging, advertising, and promotional markets with offices across Eurasia and the Pacific Rim, for such clients as Nike, Apple, and Nestle.
