As Executive Director of Business Operations for Accenture’s IT organisation, he manages a $700 million IT operation for a company with employees in 52 countries. IT is critical to Accenture’s success as a management consultancy and technology services provider. IT governance matters to the bottom line, so Accenture insists on clear accountability for IT decisions and delivery. The capacity of Accenture’s IT function to stay focussed on the needs of the business is one reason why Accenture has succeeded in doubling its revenue and racking up profits. Between 2001 and 2009, Accenture’s operating profits nearly trebled to reach $2.6 billion.
