RADNOR, Pa., May 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Wavestone US is pleased to announce the recent appointment of senior IT executive Craig MacGibbon as Managing Director, focused on transformational service improvements advisory services. Based in Columbus, Georgia, he brings more than 25 years of leading global technology teams in developing strategies and enabling integration, automation, and organizational excellence.

He was also VP and CIO of UIL Holdings, overseeing cybersecurity, application development, operations, sourcing, and architecture.
"I was attracted to Wavestone's practitioner's approach. The emphasis here is on applying real-world experience to deliver real-world business results, as opposed to the academic and prescriptive methodologies most big firms subscribe to," says MacGibbon. "I could not be happier to be a part of the team."
"Craig has exactly the experience and profile that are the hallmarks of our business. He has had a long career as an operator including as CIO. This depth of real-world experience is at the heart of the value we deliver to clients. Today's trying times are exactly why our model of experience over theory is gaining momentum in the market," says Jeff Vail, CEO of Wavestone US.
