Local companies recognized by innovative use of technology

The September 15th issue of InformationWeek (perpetually mistakenly delivered to me for 3 years), features their 20th annual ranking of companies they deem “The Top Innovators In Business Technology”. 

The listing has a regional breakout, and so I thought It would be easy to just go through it and identify & extract all of those companies with headquarters in our state of Wisconsin.  It is in a way a means to show my regional pride.

Here’s the list of companies in alphabetical order, containing the company name, city and the company’s highest ranking IT executive & title:

• Actuant (Butler, WI), Dennis B. Biederman/IT Director
• Acuity, A Mutual Company (Sheboygan, WI), Neal Ruffalo/VP of Enterprise Technology & CIO
• Assurant Health (Milwaukee, WI), Lance Wilson/Sr. VP & CIO
• Fiserv, Inc (Brookfield, WI), Richard K Jones/Executive VP & CIO
• Foley & Lardner LLP (Milwaukee, WI), Douglas D. Caddell/CIO
• KI (Green Bay, WI), Vicki Petit/VP of IS
• Kohl's Corp (Menomonee Falls, WI), Tom Kingsbury/Sr. Executive VP Markerting, Business Development & IT
• Marshfield Clinic (Marshfield, WI), Carl Christensen/CIO
