IWhen it comes to IT and IT security operations, I won’t stop until I’ve created solutions that protect the company and allow the company to scale with little disruption to overall operations. ►► cbeck@comcast.net◄◄ A RESPECTED AGENT OF CHANGE I don’t labor over decisions. When I see a course of action advantageous to the company, I pursue it. I convinced executive leadership to break from the IT department of the umbrella company. It was a massive undertaking, but doing so allowed us to create an IT infrastructure that could better handle 24/7 operations and enable the company to scale. I established the IT infrastructure for a multi-billion dollar company with 100+ locations. I would not have been able to do this without the trust of leadership and the buy-in of front line team members. STEADY, KNOWLEDGEABLE LEADERSHIP Crisis happens. It happens a lot in IT and even more in 24/7 IT environments scaling at a rapid pace. When challenges arise, I stay above the fray and respond with strategic solutions. Faced with expanding IT infrastructures to support facilities up to 1 million square feet, my no drama focus on solutions has been the secret to my success and consistent on-time delivery. A GENERALIST I’ve had my hand in all aspects of IT. Leading the development of the IT infrastructure for a massive transportation and logistics company, I have done everything from IT operations, wireless, networking, servers, storage, security, budgeting, program management, vendor management, SOX, ITIL and some software development, not to mention team management. I am an accomplished IT professional with a well-rounded depth of knowledge and expertise that permits me to think creatively about solution development. Let’s talk about how I can protect your company’s IT infrastructure or transform it to enable growth.
