DXC Technology

Larry is part of the DXC Modern Workplace Delivery organization, responsible for leading the most complex of opportunities and initiatives. While primarily focused on some of the more important accounts, he also works closely with the Offering Build organization. Larry plays key integration roles for some of the emerging solutions and "Customer 0" deployments of the solutions DXC and Strategic Partners want to bring to market. Drawing on his almost 40 years experience in IT (another  barstool story is why I know the exact date), Larry is the guy DXC calls when nobody, no where, no way at all has a clue what to do with "it".

Larry joined EDS in 2001 as a part of their ITO agreement with MCI and saw it become HP, then HPE, and now DXC, spending a few years with Cisco Advanced Services along the way. Larry has 36+ years in the technology industry, beginning in mainframe, winding through mid-range and distributed compute Systems Engineering, and now advising Global Enterprises how to transform their End User Services in a Mobile and Cloudy World. Larry is truly a “been there done that” Enterprise Architect and Technical Advisor.
