Vinnie’s not your traditional Chief Technology Officer. His responsibilities are 100% externally facing, focused on client solutions. With 30+ years of industry experience (including 20+ years at CapTech), he helps us define services, forge partnerships, and design solutions.
Vinnie partners with leaders on key accounts to assist with strategy and innovation, helping drive value for the organization. Internally he’s a connection point, understanding trends across industries and vetting technical approaches with our industry-leading talent. This positions us to better serve our clients and also assists internal teams such as marketing, recruiting, and learning and development. Vinnie enjoys learning from everyone on his team, never hesitating to hand over the marker and let someone else go to the whiteboard, believing that everyone is a mentor, and everyone is a student.
With unflagging energy and intensity, Vinnie notes that a client should always know that we’re willing to go the mat for them. CapTech’s core values are the foundation of all his work.
