Senior Vice President, Chief Information Officer

Vista Equity Partners is a leading private equity firm focused on investing in software and technology-enabled businesses

I am a firm believer that technology can radically transform and empower any organization, but it takes a unique mix of business credibility, technical acumen, and empathy for IT leaders to be successful. With over 20 years of experience leading technology strategy across a broad range of domains, including enterprise business systems, application development & deployment, security, infrastructure, and IT operations, I’ve built my entire career around understanding functional challenges and impediments, then championing technology improvements to improve organizational effectiveness. Having delivered numerous transformation projects on-time and on-budget, I know that flushing out inefficiencies is essential for businesses to be able to focus on their core functions. I am results-driven and I excel at streamlining project processes, mitigating risk and delivering high-value solutions. Improving the client experience strongly influences my leadership when recruiting, mentoring and coaching team members, many of whom are subject matter experts. I lead by example, which is demonstrated by my long track record of cultivating cohesive teams that provide the highest level of customer service.
