“I've worked with Vince Armato in two separate companies and have tremendous respect for his ability to work with IT's business partners. Vince is a good listener with tremendous business acumen who can translate the desires and frustrations of IT's business customers into concrete technology plans. It's not always easy to navigate the interface between IT and the business but Vince has the unique ability to challenge business leaders in a constructive, collaborative fashion that ultimately leads to technical solutions they claim as their own. That's a remarkable feat in most companies and Vince has demonstrated the ability to achieve business buy-in for major IT initiatives on a consistent basis across multiple functional groups and business lines.”

An effective leader, Vince is well versed in multiple architectural frameworks/methodologies and someone I highly recommend.”

Over the years, he has developed a well-rounded background by acquiring an impressive set of skills and expertise across a broad spectrum of technology stacks (too many to list here!). One of the qualities I admire most about Vince is that he is not afraid to make the tough decisions that other leaders usually shy away from and, the decisions he makes are sound and based upon fact, knowledge, and experience. Vince is truly a strategic thought leader who has the natural ability to “lead the pack” into the next generation of technology solutions. He has exceptional communication and negotiation skills and is able to do so successfully with all levels of a corporation.
