But do you really want to read my resume? I didn't think so. You can always go to my LinkedIn page (a link is on the homepage) for that. Most people want to know how I got to this point. Simple. I spent my career oscillating from senior technology roles including several stints as CIO to executive business roles. From Chief Architect to Chief Operating Officer to Special Advisor. I did not concern myself with titles or pay, but rather roles that had the potential to be groundbreaking. Banking and technology are not only my vocation but my passion. I have been incredibly fortunate in my career and now want to give something back. |

the BookMy new book is coming in July of this year. The working title is Why Your Company Can't Innovate. it's a no holds barred look at the reasons why every CEO pleads with his company to be more innovative and most often attaining few tangible results.
