IPFW Alumnus Named to IT Leaders List
Congratulations to Neal Puff, Class of 1986, who was recently named to the 2008 Premier 100 IT leaders list compiled by Computerworld. The annual list selected by Computerworld “honors the best information technology executives who have led their organizations by mentoring and motivating employees, envisioning innovative solutions to business challenges and effectively managing and executing IT strategies” Puff was chosen from over 800 nominees for the list, and stated in a letter to Interim Chair Bob Sedlmeyer that “the time I spent at IPFW was instrumental in shaping who I am and in helping me to achieve the success I have enjoyed in both my professional and personal life.” The selection process for this honor involves measuring applicants against Computerworld’s IT Leadership Index, “a set of characteristics that describes executives who guide the effective use of IT in their organizations”. Professional references for each candidate are questioned during the evaluation process, and a final panel of Computerworld editors and outside judges makes a decision based on all the compiled information. Puff attributes his success to his staff and county officials, in addition to Yuma County’s use of virtualization technology, an advance that “improves the county’s response time and reduces cost to deliver county services” (Portions of this article were excerpted from the Yuma Sun, 13 Dec. 2007).
