Over the past several years, I’ve helped drive TransUnion’s transformation into a global information and insights company that makes trust possible. We have an accurate and comprehensive picture of each person, and we steward it with care so each person is reliably, yet safely represented in the marketplace. We’re on a mission to help people around the world access opportunities that lead to a higher quality of life by providing tools that allow consumers and companies to easily, confidently and safely do business together. I’m focused on helping companies power more consumer-centric business models that result in better, safer access to goods and services for hundreds of millions of people world-wide. We call this Information for Good®. Prior to my role as CEO, I served as president of TU’s U.S. Information Services division. During this time, I successfully led our largest business unit and produced market-leading results. I also led our enterprise product development organization supporting our markets globally. Before that, I was CEO at Decision Insight Information Group, overseeing an operational turnaround. In addition, I bring experience and perspective from leading businesses inside large, complex global organizations including Wolters Kluwer, a global information services and workflow solutions company. Throughout my career, I've created and led shared services and technology organizations, and implemented a variety of best practices for market-driven growth and operational excellence.
