2026 Strategic Imperatives & Development Wins
Reducing cyber risk, modernizing the employee experience, and disciplining cost while developing the leaders who make it durable.
2026 is a pivotal year for cyber resilience, employee experience, and cost discipline. These imperatives are executed by a 52-person organization and 14 leaders spanning end-user compute, Microsoft 365 and collaboration, mobility and telephony, AV and workplace technology, and field and executive support — each goal below carries shared ownership across that leadership team.
Partnered with Cybersecurity to turn endpoint governance, patching, and vulnerability remediation into measurable, reportable risk reduction.
- Endpoint patch compliance raised above 90% across the Windows fleet through automated rings and exception governance.
- Vulnerability exposure reduced across 7,000+ managed endpoints with shared remediation SLAs owned by all 14 leaders.
- Weekly security posture reporting established with Cybersecurity and Infrastructure for executive visibility.
- Intune and VDI compliance baselines standardized, cutting non-compliant device counts quarter over quarter.
Leadership & Development Trajectory
The 2026 imperatives are executed through six development priorities. Enterprise Leadership and Executive Succession show up in how 14 leaders own shared outcomes; Financial Acumen drives the cost-transparency and managed-services work; AI/Digital Transformation and Zero-Touch Endpoint Mastery underpin a resilient, automated endpoint environment; and Managed Services Leadership scales delivery beyond headcount. Together they demonstrate readiness for larger enterprise roles and the ability to scale AI-driven operations.
