Background

About Jeff Stark

Who could’ve guessed a college internship with comedian Gilbert Godfrey would be the impetus that launched my career in tech, leading to my role today as CIO? As a film and communications major in NYC, I juggled classes with a side hustle setting up and supporting small business networks. When the internship didn’t turn into gainful employment after graduation, I pivoted to tech – and ever since have built, modernized and supported IT infrastructure for diverse and highly-regulated companies. Today, CEOs recruit me to lay out an IT vision, strategy and roadmap to make their vision for growth reality through: Tech stack transformation Policies, processes and standards to govern activities and ensure compliance Tools that improve the employee experience and increase productivity CX-focused service delivery Vendor management and contract negotiations that strengthen SLAs and save companies millions I build, lead, motivate and mentor high-performance teams known for punching above their weight. I credit this success to fostering a culture of innovation and accountability – rich with ample opportunities for skill building and career advancement. Recognizing the unique position companies are in help their surrounding community, I partner with nonprofits and others to pay it back and forward. CONNECT: stark.jeff@gmail.com
