Danny Dang heads
up R.D. Olson Construction’s technology division, and given
the company’s continuous growth, this is no easy task.
Dang joined the company in 1991 as project scheduler, and
has gone from casually helping maintain the firm’s computers
to his current position as Chief Technology Officer. His
role is to align technology vision with business strategy by
integrating company processes with the appropriate
technologies.
A key member of the company’s management team, Dang oversees
strategic technological planning to achieve business goals
by prioritizing technology initiative and coordinating the
evaluation, deployment, and management of current and future
technologies. His team of engineers must ensure that the
organization’s architecture, telecommunications, networks,
programming, media and desktops operate in sync with each
other and the entire R.D. Olson infrastructure. Dang also
must ensure that the company’s equipment and software
operations adhere to applicable laws and regulations, and
should the need arise, that a information recovery and
business continuity plan is always ready for implementation.
To remain current in the rapidly changing world of
technology, Dang spends his share of time conducting
research on industry trends and advancements. He attends
numerous conferences and seminars, and brings the knowledge
back to his staff. His membership in the Southern California
Information Technology Professionals Association is also
another valuable tool in keeping up-to-date.
In 1996, Dang earned the designation of Certified Novell
Engineer and in 1999 became a Microsoft Certified System
Engineer. Dang also holds a bachelor of science degree in
construction management from California Polytechnic State
University, Pomona. |
