Background

Kieran York "Chip" is in his fourth year at Fisher teaching the Consulting concentration under the Industry Immersion program of Fisher ULEO.  After graduating from OSU in 1995, Chip founded, grew, and sold a fundraising software firm as well as holding technical practitioner roles related to database development (MS Access, SQL, VBS) and infrastructure management (MS NT, Novell) for Siemens.  Over the next twenty years Chip held increasingly responsible roles in global technology consulting firms based in both Western Europe and South Asia.  He has managed organizations with a downline of up to 200+ employees and has overseen P&L up to the 40M p.a. level.  Together with his high performance team members he has captured over $2B in total contract value under large scale long term operational outsourcing agreements with Global 2000 ranked clients.

Outside of his lecturer role in Fisher, Chip currently manages the Americas Region Growth Alliances group for a $9B global systems integrator.  His classroom time in the Consulting Immersion Lab (BUSADM3630.06/BUSADM3632.06) is his most cherished vocation.
