Jan and I are happy to announce that Tom Smith of Dow Chemical will be joining us on Tuesday evening October 4th to talk about the hard work of aligning IT to the business. Tom is the IT Director for several of Dow Chemicals’ businesses. Please join the regularly scheduled Webex for my section of IT Governance on the Training Center at webex.temple.edu.
Here’s Tom bio:
Thomas G Smith (Tom) joined The Dow Chemical Company in 1993 as an Information Analyst in their Coating Materials business. Fascinated with the business’s technologies and markets, he became a sales trainee and enjoyed positions of increasing responsibility becoming a National Accounts Manager in the Sales team in Coatings. During the 2000-2009 period, Tom used his combined experiences in the commercial team and in information technology to lead strategic programs for the business before moving into the corporate Selling Excellence team. Tom is now the Business IT Director for several Dow businesses, including Building & Construction, as well as for Coatings, Monomers, and Plastics Additives. Tom graduated from Amherst College with honors in Economics and English; and prior to joining Dow he worked as an information analyst at an international economic forecasting and consulting firm. Outside of Dow, Tom has had a 25-year career as a semi-professional race car driver, and placed 15th in the nation in 2015. He also is a musician and writer.
