Hunter Jones promoted from 娇色导航of Cameron International to Business Unit CIO, and other news

娇色导航

A few months ago, I posted a blog about Hunter Jones, 娇色导航of Cameron International, a $9B oil and gas equipment manufacturer, who had added VP of Enterprise Services to his 娇色导航title. “Sometimes I say that my new role is everything the CEO doesn’t want to do,” said Jones. But more seriously:  Jones’s new functional responsibility included, in addition to IT, product R&D, global supply chain, security, corporate quality and leadership over a major transformation project. His team of 600 had increased to 1400.

A few weeks ago, I learned that Hunter Jones was recently promoted to a new role of Vice President and General Manager of Drilling Systems at Cameron. This is a classic example of what I call “Reach Beyond IT” where a 娇色导航uses the considerable operations skills he develops as 娇色导航and takes on additional functional roles.  Do this long enough, and if all goes well, the CIO, like Jones, winds up with his own P&L.

In more exciting developments, Kim Hammonds joined Deutsche Bank on November 25 as 娇色导航and global co-head of group technology and operations (GTO). Previously, Hammonds was 娇色导航at Boeing and held various roles at Dell and Ford Motor Company.

Colbert will report to John Tracy, CTO and Senior Vice President of Engineering, Operations & Technology. Colbert joined Boeing in 2009 as a director of the Enterprise Network Services organization

Pearson announced the appointment of Albert Hitchcock as 娇色导航and a new member of the Pearson Executive team. Hitchock joins from Vodafone, where he served as 娇色导航since 2007. The 28-year IT veteran also previously held leadership roles at BAE Systems, Racal Electronics and Nortel Networks.

I ran into a few weeks ago, who tells me that is joining George Mason University in Fairfax, VA, as CIO.  Previously, Smith was the head of IT at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Prior to joining MIT in 2009, Smith was the president of Life Companies at the Hanover Insurance Group.

Bloomberg appointed as CIO. Oncel has been with Bloomberg since 1998, starting out as a Multimedia Software Developer, then to Director of Product Development and then to Managing Editor of  Product Development & News Technology.

That’s it for this week!  Best of luck to all of these new CIOs.
