Senior Consultant
|
Sheleen Quish is a Senior Consultant with Cutter's Sourcing & Vendor Relationships and Business-IT Strategies practices. She is the former VP & CIO for US Can Corporation. There, she was responsible for the global infrastructure, three data centers and a wide variety of applications to support the $750 million company in 24 locations in six countries. Ms. Quish's background is unique in the CIO world. She has 20 years of Marketing and Operations experience in healthcare and insurance. While being given the opportunity to drive improvements in the operations division of a major insurance company, Ms. Quish became fully aware of the power of IT in shaping a company's performance and growth. At the same time she learned that IT is often one of the most poorly managed functional areas and the least well aligned with the business objectives. In 1993, Ms. Quish assumed her first position in an IT role as a CIO. Over the last 13 years she has developed a set of IT management principles and techniques that support both the business objectives and create a viable environment in which IT professional can thrive. Some of the business systems solutions she has managed and led include: the development of a paperless claims filing solution in the health insurance industry that developed into a profit center offering services, hardware, and software; and major business systems integration in a national affinity marketing company delivered on time and on budget, avoiding a $1 million a month penalty. Ms. Quish is a change manager who thrives on leading positive change in IT organizations. This goal is achieved in a collaborative manner in conjunction with a corporation's mission and objectives.
