He earned a B.A. in Biology from the University of Idaho, an MBA from the University of Utah, and a PhD from Capella University. His research interests include organizational transformation, e-business operations, and business process improvement initiatives.

During Vic’s twenty three year career with IBM he has had first and second line management assignments in a variety of functional areas. This includes duties in Production Control and Inventory Management, Product Pricing and Competitive Analysis, Product Marketing, Business Controls and Operations. All of these jobs have been within the context of semiconductor development and manufacturing.

In his current role, he is managing departments of software development and process reengineering personnel who specialize in e-business operations, Product Data Management, and Business Analytics Systems. The fun part of this job, aside from bringing new tools and techniques to help solve business problems, is that there are a wide variety of resources that have to be organized to make all of the projects work. There are IBM employees in several locations, numerous vendors, purchasing contracts, and myriad other activities that need to be synchronized to effectively deploy projects.

He lives outside Underhill Flats where he and his family enjoy Vermont’s rural, outdoor character.
