Richard Wall, vice president for Enterprise Application
Engineering at Dex Media, Inc., was named “One to Watch” by CIO
magazine. The CIO Executive Council's annual Ones to Watch award
identifies the rising stars in IT. To be honored, these future CIOs
must have demonstrated leadership, driven innovation and delivered
value to their business.
Wall has led organizations within IT at many companies and has
experience across several disciplines including architecture,
development, production support, and quality assurance. He is
responsible for application development and maintenance activities
at Dex Media, including all applications supporting Lead to Cash
processes, mobile and online applications and websites representing
Superpages.com, search platforms and traffic distribution
integration to search partners, customer portal, and Business
Intelligence Systems (BIS) applications.
Wall also leads the Quality Assurance, Database Administration,
and Production support organizations for Dex Media. In addition to
directing the activities of 150 IT resources, he also manages the
activities of two primary IT outsource vendors.
Michael Dunn, Dex Media’s chief technology officer, said, “I
have witnessed Richard’s growth and results managing teams through
difficult and extreme change, including large implementations or
company acquisitions. At SuperMedia, he took over a large
development organization - including development, testing, and
production support - that was operating under different processes
and leadership. He was able to communicate the level of
performance, standards, customer-focus, agility, and flexibility he
was looking for and successfully implement it. He is definitely a
future CIO to watch.”
