RR Donnelley · Warrenville

Dec 2011 – May 2025(13 yrs 6 mos)

In my role leading technology transformation for a $15B company, I played a key part in driving operational excellence and autonomy across multiple business units. I successfully oversaw the technology separation of the company into three distinct entities, completing the transition within just 12 months. A cornerstone of this initiative was establishing the enterprise architecture group, which led a global tech overhaul and modernized the IT infrastructure of a 150-year-old company to align with its evolving business needs. One of my proudest achievements was leading a full enterprise recovery after a ransomware attack, where I managed to rebuild 8,000 servers across various business units in just 17 days, ensuring minimal downtime and business continuity. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I coordinated the mobilization of 14,000 IT professionals to seamlessly transition to remote work in less than a week, keeping operations running smoothly. I also drove significant cost savings, including over $20M through strategic sourcing initiatives, while maintaining strong relationships with union employees and preserving the company's brand reputation. By leading a disaster recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS) initiative for a $5B enterprise, I further strengthened business resilience. My efforts to optimize server hardware costs through virtualization reduced annual expenses by 12%, and I boosted team efficiency by improving development-to-production timelines by 20%, accelerating product releases. Ultimately, my leadership focused on driving innovation, modernizing technology, and ensuring business continuity, all while reducing costs and improving operational efficiency.
