Sweeney, Bill [MC1978]
Director Research Technology at Bridgewater Associates
Greater New York City Area
Financial Services
Summary:
* I am an experienced Senior Level IT executive with International Experience. On Wall St. I started as a Programmer on Fixed Income systems and have now worked in virtually all asset classes. I’ve managed building and trading floor construction, office automation, advanced analytics, political action committees, operations re-engineering, staff retraining. I’ve met with regulators from multiple countries, worked on cross-bank consortiums, and partnered with start up companies. Through that experience I’ve learned how to build bright, innovative, resourceful, cooperative teams that understand the importance of business focused results. My focus on the end goal makes me adept at breaking down silos and increasing technology and business efficiency. I use my strong analytical background both for product support and business management. I believe communication is key to our ability to succeed and therefore I teach a course on effective communications to Technologists.
* My goal is to identify a company that wants to leverage technology as a competitive advantage and recognizes that change equals opportunity.
* I am an IDG Computerworld’s Premier 100 IT Leaders 2008 Honoree .
* I contributed to the book “Partnering with the CIO” by Mike Minelli and Mike Barlow.
