Deb C, CHRO – 30+ years experience and former Dish Networks HR and Operations Director – “You are the best Chief Information Officer I have ever met!”
Claire W, Application Lead – Thank you for your help in leading the technology team at NFS. Your technical knowledge and exuberance
have been incredibly refreshing. Your help in leading the Applications team as we consolidate and scale our software systems throughout the company has been invaluable. Thank you for taking on and leading weekly meetings with key stakeholders in the different departments, gaining insightful feedback and ideas for growth through collaboration. NFS is so lucky to be working with someone with so much experience, we can’t do it without you!
Nesta H, IT Director – Ben Allen with Allen CIO is the single best thing that has happened to our compa
ny. You brought a ton of positive energy and expertise into our struggling IT Department.
Before you showed up, we had no leadership in IT, practically no in-house IT staff, our budget was out of control, and we had a mountain of technical issues. You quickly got a firm grasp on the entire department, both on the personnel and on the technical side, and turned everything around.
Within a few short months, you were able to identify and empower new leaders from within our organization, teach them how to successfully hire and run a team, and then gave us a roadmap for success for years to come.
You also helped clean up many technical issues that we had. Within a few months you helped guide our team towards industry leading technology, taught us how to push standardization, and helped push out problematic vendors and software. The changes that you implemented not only improved our productivity, but it also cut our entire IT budget by over 50%.
In short, you helped turn a very dysfunctional IT Department into a highly productive, fun, systematic, and exciting place to work. It’s truly unbelievable how quickly you managed to turn a disaster of a department into one of the best teams I’ve ever been a part of.
Kyle Z, Multi System Administrator – Communication, organization, teamwork, a culture of caring and excellence – this is what you get when working with Ben Allen at Allen CIO. He built the IT team
we needed to support our rapidly growing operations and many integrated processes and software applications, is guiding several ambitious development projects, and is a Jedi master at gathering information and getting it to the right people to help make the best decisions for our company and our people. And most importantly, he has the managerial talent to keep all the key players sane among the corporate insanity of always seeming to take on more than we should at one time!
From Jennifer B, Corporate Controller – I am so grateful for all of your guidance and understanding and shoulders to cry on! You are a gem and a gift and the whole team appreciates what you have been able to assist us with.
Nicole N, Plant Manager – See this video where she shares how I transformed the way a globally traded probiotics company leverages technology. She told me two months into our engagement that “I give people a reason to want to come to work in the morning.”
