Technology Leadership That Delivers Business Value
Throughout my career I've placed technology in the service of organizational change. I've led successful internal start-ups for The University of Wisconsin, Digital Equipment Corporation, Berbee Information Networks, and others. My thoughtful leadership has also enhanced the effectiveness of technology for Boeing, Toys R Us, General Motors, Oshkosh B'Gosh, ShopKo, Thrivent, Telephone and Data Systems, Nielsen and the American Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin. I've also started and run my own management consulting firm, Prairie Star Consulting.
I've delivered results by focusing on the people in an organization rather than on its technologies. I communicate and work effectively at all levels of an organization and across many constituencies. I instinctively bring together diverse opinions and interests, building buy-in and acceptance for technologies that are well aligned with an organization's objectives.
