He has said that his role is to help businesses "maximize the potential of our people, assets, and data to create value for the shareholder." Under his leadership, Oshkosh's digital team has received CIO 100 awards for seven consecutive years and was a finalist for the 2021 MIT Sloan Leadership Award.
