Superior Systems Inc. As Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Chief Creative Officer (CCO), I held dual leadership roles that combined strategic technology management with creative innovation, driving organizational growth and market impact.

Collaborating closely with department managers and ownership, I analyzed user needs and budgets to recommend system updates, replacements, and enhancements. My role also included consulting with management, clients, and staff; supervising the IT department, including hiring and training; providing technical support; and conducting feasibility studies for technology projects across the country. As CCO, I directed the creative vision of the company, overseeing all product and packaging design initiatives. I developed prototypes and final designs for consumer goods and industrial components, integrating functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability. I led the creation of cohesive branding and marketing materials, ensuring alignment with production capabilities and client needs. My expertise in materials, including steel, aluminum, composites, and eco-friendly options, enabled me to design innovative, cost-effective, and environmentally conscious packaging solutions. Additionally, I managed vendor relationships, negotiated contracts, and streamlined material sourcing to maintain quality and efficiency throughout the design process. By combining technological expertise with creative leadership, I delivered impactful solutions that enhanced operational success, elevated the company’s brand, and exceeded customer expectations.
