- Your relationship with a key business leader:
- My manager is someone who has a great business mind but is also grounded in technology. We have similar backgrounds in that regard and share a passion for mathematics. The strong relationship we have is important because the blending of technology and business strategy is so critical to the new role of the CIO.
- Coolest current project:
- We have a very important initiative under way that is designed to simplify the work of our salespeople so that they can spend more time with clients and less on the paperwork involved in doing their jobs. Called SalesConnect, it will provide sellers with improved data quality and more reliable pipeline and forecasting capabilities.
