Edward Costello’s Summary
In 1994, I created and managed the team responsible for the technology operations of IBM’s corporate web site, www.ibm.com and was responsible for technology management of IBM’s world wide web and internet operations. I developed and managed applications supporting search, content management, investor relations, and various special events. I either created or co–authored the corporate processes and methods to govern IBM’s presence on the internet, working closely with marketing communications, investor relations, and employee communications. Over five years in this position I gained experience and expertise in building and managing information technology teams and processes, corporate operations and procedures, and international considerations for technology development, deployment and governance.
In parallel I either supported or managed web site operations at three Olympic Games (Atlanta, Nagano, Sydney), and designed and managed operations for several special event web sites.
I am currently available to consult on internet technology development, operations, and strategy.
