Background

Previous Experience

I have spent many years on the fence between the IT and Finance organizations, alternating back and forth several times over my 23 year career. I was a user, developer and implementer of financial management and operational applications. I have also worked for a software firm as VP of Strategy and spent over 5 years as an industry analyst in my focus areas. I have had positions that bought, sold and researched financial management technologies. This brings a unique perspective to my role at Gartner as Industry Analyst.
