IT STRAIGHT TALK

The business of IT, simplified.

About

Hello, my name is Eric Davis, and I’m the author of IT STRAIGHT TALK. After 25 years in various transformational IT roles with Fortune 100 Companies, I wanted to share my beliefs, knowledge and experience in IT leadership and create a small community where folks can discuss executive business and IT issues – and maybe solve a problem or two.

I’m currently a CIO Advisor on large-scale IT and Operations Transformation, and COO of an Internet-based start-up company, GreenSource America (www.greensourceamerica.com).

My past executive roles include:

  • Delphi Corporation, Head of Global Architecture and Infrastructure
  • United Airlines, Chief of Technology
  • Capital One Financial Services, Divisional CIO – Card Operations, Head of Technology Services Group
  • First USA Bank (now part of JPMC Card Services) SVP of IT Operations, Divisional CIO – Private Label, Divisional CIO – First Commerce Bank of Louisiana, VP Development – Corporate and Risk Services

I am an avid outdoorsman and enjoy photography, collecting LGB model trains and various shooting sports. My wonderful wife of 19 years, Janine, son Max, daughter Michal and I (plus two dogs and two guinea pigs) reside in Kildeer, IL.
