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 CommunityMy goal is to attract thru the comments like minded folks from both FI's and technology companies who want to have a safe place to have a discussion on innovations in our industry, minus all the marketing hype.

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. It will not be for the shy or the politically correct.
