About Mike

My Profession: Information Technology Transformation

My Career: All my career I’ve worked in advancing the use of IT.  My career started at IBM leading new and emerging technology. Later I held CTO and CIO roles at Ford and Monsanto and a few others. I formed Visioneering Partners Ltd. (VPL) in 1995 to provide consulting services to enterprise CIOs and startup Entrepreneurs. From 2010-2022 I was a Consulting CIO with my own company and with Gartner (2014-2022).  I am currently providing occasional consulting on Excellence by Design.
​
My Passions: Besides IT?... Motorcycles & Cars, Skiing and Guitar, Food and Wine of course. Traveling in Europe. Our Dogs.  My great Kids and the most important...my wife Annele.
