Richard A. Maranville, 2013 Honoree
- Title
- Executive vice president, CIO
- Employer
- Freeman Co.
- Location
- Dallas,
- A job responsibility you'd like to eliminate:
- Desktop support. Everyone who has a mobile phone or tablet views me as an expert, and there are just too many phones, platforms and apps to be an expert on all of them.
- Skills you'll hire for this year:
- We are looking for .Net developers primarily, and are always in the market for good project managers.
- How are you turning your IT department into a services organization?
- In addition to aligning each and every project with a business partner sponsor to ensure joint accountability on any major initiative, we are spending significantly more time with the company's actual customers, who increasingly leverage technology to collaborate with Freeman.
