About the Premier 100 Technology Leadership AwardsThe
Premier 100 program was created in 2000 to spotlight
individuals who have had a positive impact on their organizations
through technology. These are individuals who manage internal IT
organizations, mentor and motivate their IT teams and business
colleagues, create a positive work environment, envision innovative
solutions to business challenges and effectively manage and execute
IT strategies. Each year, nominees are invited to complete a
questionnaire that addresses a number of topics, including their
background and experience and their attitude toward risk and
innovation. Using Computerworld’s IT Leader Index, which is a
measurement of how closely an individual matches our definition of
the IT Leader, we analyze the data. Each year, 100 honorees are
selected to receive this life-time recognition award. Information
