Black Box Corporation (NASDAQ:BBOX)
, the
trusted digital partner at the intelligent edge, today announced
that its CIO, Ron Beckman, was named 2018 CIO of the Year by the
Pittsburgh Technology Council and the Greater Pittsburgh CIO
Group.
The announcement was made Thursday, April 19, 2018 at the annual
Pittsburgh Technology’s Council’s (PTC) Tech All Stars awards at
the Westin Convention Center Hotel. Every year, the PTC and the
Greater Pittsburgh CIO group gather to honor the region’s top
information technology executives. Mr. Beckman was one of five
finalists in the Gigabyte category for organizations with 1,001 to
10,000 employees.
Mr. Beckman, Senior Vice President and Chief Information
Officer, joined Black Box in 2016 and is responsible for the
company’s global strategy for data operations, business
applications support and cyber security. Mr. Beckman’s strategic
vision has made a tremendous impact on Black Box’s ability to
transform its IT capabilities and the business itself.
“Ron has provided exceptional leadership in modernizing our
infrastructure and enabling our One Black Box initiative. I am very
pleased to see this recognition of his accomplishments from the
Pittsburgh IT community,” said Joel Trammell, President and CEO of
Black Box.
As a technology company, Black Box views IT as an organization
that should create value both internally and externally. Mr.
Beckman sums up the IT strategy at Black Box with the phrase: “Make
the car go faster.” This is intended to communicate that IT is not
just a provider of tools, but a partner with the business to
increase organizational productivity and customer engagement. By
aligning IT along functional lines and moving the interaction, in
some cases to the end customers, Mr. Beckman has created a
proactive problem-solving culture.
“It is a great honor to receive this award,” said Mr. Beckman.
“But, in my opinion, this is a team award and all the credit should
go to them. The team came up with innovative ways to work closer to
the business, increase organizational productivity and to get more
done ‘faster.’ It’s been very exciting to be part of this
team.”
“Pittsburgh is home to some of the brightest tech minds in the
world leading technology strategies across companies of all sizes
and industries,” said Audrey Russo, President and CEO of the PTC.
“It is important to take a night to celebrate their
accomplishments, innovation and leadership. Congratulations to the
finalists and winners. These executives work tirelessly to
ensure that information assets and technologies are adequately
protected.”
Mr. Beckman has more than 30 years of experience in IT and has
held positions at RTI International Metals and Covestro. He is a
graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania and holds
certifications as a Six Sigma Black Belt and APICS Supply Chain
Professional.
