- New titles in your IT organization:

- How many times have you had to reinvent yourself in your career?
- Several. I've had to become a subject-matter expert in both security and data management. My advice would be to own your brand and have a development plan. Be willing to make commitments (even bold ones) and relentlessly execute on them.
- How are you turning your IT department into a services organization?
- I executed a major reorganization of our IT and project management office functions and created business-unit-aligned technology teams directly responsible for servicing the needs of our business units. We are maturing ITIL processes to provide more predictable and repeatable services to our business units.
