About the Person
Michael (Mike) Meadows joined Eli Lilly and Company in 1983, the year he obtained his BA in mathematics and computer science. Since that time, Meadows has worked his way up to become Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at the pharmaceutical giant. His MBA in Finance from the Kelly School of Business has no doubt helped Meadows in his efforts to implement a strategic sourcing model, improve vendor management and centralize IT to rein in costs. Eli Lilly is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana and employs just under 40,000 people. In his role as CTO at Eli Lilly, Meadows leads the Global Information Services (GIS) organization responsible for business technology direction and delivering IT services to over 50,000 employees and collaborators globally. He was named as the highest ranking IT executive at the company when Informationweek ranked Eli Lilly #169 on its annual Top 250 Leading US Users of Business Technology in September of 2013.
