support the company’s growth in the future. He will report directly

Mr. Harris has led information technology innovations and
digital transformations in manufacturing and other industries. As
Chief Information Officer at Andeavor, a Texas-based Fortune 100
refiner and marketer of petroleum products, he enabled a
comprehensive digital strategy to automate and optimize Andeavor’s

the company’s largest acquisition. His work also included
initiatives to maximize the power of the cloud, mobility and
collaboration, and implement robust cybersecurity processes.
Prior to Andeavor, Mr. Harris worked for Mylan, a global

application rationalization strategy and transforming IT into one

outsourcing of infrastructure and application support, resulting in
significant savings while upgrading tools and services for Mylan
users.
Mr. Harris’ prior positions include time in London with
insurance and annuity product provider Aviva PLC as the Senior V.P.

around the world. In his last role at Rockwell Collins, as Director
of Information Security, Mr. Harris built an on-premises Security
Operations Center focused specifically on preventing cyber-attacks
aimed at compromising Department of Defense data.
“Digitization is a key opportunity for ATI,” said Mr. Wetherbee.
“The tremendous benefits gained from advanced systems in place at
our iso-thermal forges, specialty materials facilities, and the
Hot-Rolling and Processing Facility have shown us what’s possible.
Under Tim’s leadership, we’ll be able to accelerate those efforts
company-wide, driving improvements in productivity, quality and
delivery.”
