Technology is my passion but a modern CIO has to be about more than IT.  I am a partner to the business, possessing a deep grasp of technology and the ability to clearly convey how it can support the company strategy to business leaders.  My legal education is a tremendous benefit in highly regulated industries like Financial Services and Healthcare. For the past 3 years I have served as the first enterprise CTO for  Greystar, the world's largest residential property management company, with over 850,000 apartments around the world.  I lead a global team, created a technology strategy, focused on leveraging our data across the property management, development and investment lines of business, and launched a digital transformation effort which will turn Greystar into a consumer facing company and drive up property NOI by over 10% over the next 18 months.  This platform relies on a combination of mobile technology, smart home hardware, AI based leasing agents, but most importantly, flips the operating model on its head to focus on the consumer and centralize operations.  Read more about it here.As Divisional CIO for Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company, a $1.8B subsidiary of Unum Group, I led a 150+ person technology department through a digital transformation.  Working closely with my business & enterprise IT partners, I helmed a team that delivered customer facing apps, operational efficiency, stability, cloud infrastructure, data & predictive analytics.   Check out some of the things my team built above.In an earlier role, as Vice President, Technology at Raymond James Financial, I led a multi-year transformation of the Client Onboarding program, successfully reducing account opening SLAs by 50% while achieving 100% adoption across the firm’s 3,500 branches in four months after roll out.Prior to RJ, I headed up software development at Direct Edge Stock Exchange. I joined as employee 25 of a startup ECN, and 8 years later, we grew to be America's third largest stock exchange, processing 12% of all stock trading in the country, and led to an acquisition by CBOE.  DE had an amazing engineering team - we built a system that could process 100,000 orders per second, with latency sub 200 microseconds.   Check out the article from the New York Times below.
