- Skills you'll hire for this year:
- Subject-matter expertise in system migration and application architecture within and across different cloud infrastructures. My approach to the introduction of new technologies in an organization is to bring in a subject-matter expert to ramp up quickly and cross-train existing talent.
- A career highlight:
- A sit-down meeting with Bill Gates in 2008. Our company chose to move onto Microsoft's collaboration suite in the cloud. We moved more than 70,000 individuals onto the new platform. Gates thanked us for doing business with his company and discussed where he felt the future was going in IT -- all over a Coke.
- Coolest current project:
- Our IT organization is paving the way to the future model for infrastructure and applications by branching away from the traditional hosted environment and moving platforms, networks and applications to the cloud.
