CDO, then CDO/CIO, then CDOA/CIO is laid himself off by taking another job. The sad thing is he has taken credit for the work of those who earned their jobs without a friendship with Christa Quarles.
- he did not lead an overhaul of the company's platforms, IT infrastructure, and business applications to improve security and facilitate more efficient operations.
- he was given a fully secure an operational infrastructure. Under his management he lost two very savvy infrastructure leaders along with other managers and ICs who didn't trust his experience or the people he hired from OpenTable.
- we are hosted in AWS and Azure mostly and all the operations were already efficient and secure
- nothing changed regarding how the company used data as the team responsible is very savvy.
- there was nothing to modernize considering AWS, Azure and GCP along with the rest of the SaaS apps the prior CIO and security leader implemented.
- the Senior Director, Global Services left as he didn't trust him nor Christa.
- the CTO had to obtain an updated SOC2 Type 2 after Grant and the CISO let the certification lapse for two years.
