Accomplished executive with over 20 years leading change and driving technology innovation. Recognized for hiring and developing high potential individuals and creating, mentoring and motivating high performing teams.
“Brilliant insight and execution is what I have had a chance to experience and leverage from Simona. As CIO for Cook County she has worked closely together with our team on executing key statewide IT initiatives including data analytics, blockchain and cybersecurity. A true insightful leader to the core and someone that you learn quickly you can depend on when the going gets tough!”
“Simona has been a true inspiration to me in her role as President of Follett Software. Her strongest skill sets are strategic thinking, consistently strong leadership, analytically based planning, and a keen desire to satisfy customers externally as well as internally to drive a culture that is success oriented with a dose of reality and humanity baked in. Simona is driven and accepts nothing but the best from herself as well as others and is available both professionally and personally to see that through. I have considered it an honor to work for and with Simona and believe she would be a key asset to any organization that wants to drive success at the highest of levels.”
“Simona demonstrated outstanding leadership at the helm of the Cook County Bureau of Technology. It's a fast-paced environment and Simona had a wide variety of challenges to overcome. Cook County modernized 25 years over the course of 48 months. See her speech at the Chicago City Club or on WTTW's Chicago Tonight. Simona deserves significant credit for making so much happen at the County and all at once. She is a sheer force of nature. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly.”
