Technology & Operations

Our Technology Practice extends across all industries. We have completed more than 700 assignments in this highly complex and fast changing area. An integral role and a cornerstone of a company’s technology initiatives is the role of the Chief Information Officer. To this key position, we have dedicated specialized attention and expertise.

IT Services and Solutions Consulting

It may be that no other professional has experienced substantial shift in opportunity than that of the IT services and solutions professional. While the last 30 years of technological innovation have been remarkable, the last 5 years have almost been more that the average executive can absorb. Technology has accelerated in speed, power, availability, flexibility, sophistication, complexity and cost. With the evolution of web-enabled technologies, the opportunities, complexities and risk have just increased.

It is vital to the Chief Information Officer and Chief Technology Officer that they are able to attract the very best technical professional and that the search firm that assists them understands technology, the technology field and can determine if a technical professional is technically qualified, while also fitting the culture. This is our specialty, just as it has been for over twenty-two years.

In addition to supporting traditional information technology organizations, as a result of Daubenspeck and Associates roots in “Big 5” consulting, we have developed a substantial amount of experience in performing IT search assignments to the consulting industry.

We have placed over 168 IT Senior Managers or Partners for one blue-chip international management-consulting firm.

  • Our IT systems and solutions focus includes:
  • Systems Integration
  • IT Strategy and Solutions
  • Outsourcing and Managed Services
  • Data Management

Chief Information Officer Practice

An ability to anticipate the technical requirements of any business strategy, or understand the business implications of a technical decision is a core competency for any CIO today. In today’s business climate, it is absolutely crucial. Daubenspeck and Associates understands this, and has taken this into account with every one of the thirty-seven CIO/CTO assignments it has satisfied in the last three years.

The responsibilities of the CIO & CTO are the most unique of the executive team. In 23 years of recruiting for the IT executive position, we have watched this position elevate from computer functional executive, who presides over a utility, to a position that requires an executive who must be economically driven, understanding where best to invest financial and human capital. When a CIO recommends an investment in technology, the investment has the potential to transform an enterprise, establish a substantial competitive advantage for that enterprise, or it can irrevocably harm it.

In 23 years of IT executive search, Daubenspeck and Associates has cultivated a worldwide network of the top CIO & CTO’s available, across virtually every market or industry.
