As the Chief Information and Digital Officer (CIDO) at Savage, a global leader in supply chain solutions, I am responsible for driving the enterprise-wide digital transformation and innovation strategy, leveraging cloud, data, and artificial intelligence capabilities. With over 25 years of experience in senior IT leadership roles, I have a proven track record of delivering high-impact business outcomes and value creation through technology alignment and modernization.

In my previous role as CIO of Extra Space Storage, the largest US storage company, I guided the organization through a comprehensive change management and digital transformation that enabled growth, improved customer experience, and enhanced data insights. Some of the key initiatives and results included creating and executing a five-year strategy to modernize all core systems, migrating all workloads to the cloud, implementing multiple SaaS solutions, and developing a new digital business platform. I also led the digital marketing, SEO, and PPC functions, resulting in increased web traffic, conversions, and revenue. Additionally, I fostered a culture of innovation and collaboration among the IT team and the business stakeholders, mentoring, training, and empowering them to embrace change and deliver value.

I am passionate about harnessing the power of technology to solve complex business challenges, create competitive advantages, and enhance customer satisfaction. I enjoy working with diverse and cross-functional teams, building strong relationships, and communicating effectively with all levels of the organization. I am always eager to learn new skills, explore new opportunities, and share my knowledge and expertise with others. I am also a certified AWS Cloud Practitioner, and have obtained executive leadership, financial management, and marketing strategy certificates from Cornell University. I hold a BS degree in Computer Information Systems from DeVry University.
