About the Person
Kevin Pashuk is currently the Chief Information Officer for Appleby College in Oakville, Ontario (the best IT job in Canada). He has also had a great career in a number of other challenging positions that gives him a unique perspective on providing technology services in complex environments. He has led a team of more than 100 IT staff at Sheridan College supporting over 50,000 users and been part of the founding executive team building a brand new medical school in Northern Ontario. He has started 3 companies, consulted internationally, drove his wife crazy moving around all over, raised 2-1/2 great kids (to be rounded up when the final one leaves home.) In the midst of all this fun, Kevin completed an executive MBA in Information Technology Management. His thesis was on restructuring the IT department to be able to support complex distributed learning environments. His craft is not IT, but building IT organizations that support challenging and new ways to do things. Kevin is convinced that IT leadership needs to dramatically change how IT is delivered rather than being relegated to a costly overhead department. In addition to transforming IT in his role as CIO, he looks for every opportunity to talk about this... writing, speaking and now blogging at TurningTechInvisible.com. Kevin has the distinction of being awarded the inaugural 2010 IT Leader of the Year (SME) Award from Computerworld Canada for his work at Appleby College.
