Congratulations to DXC Technology (DXC) Chief Information Officer (CIO), Kristie Grinnell, for earning a place on WashingtonExec's Top CIOs to Watch list.
"We are grateful for her contribution to DXC and her commitment to creating a better world for young women in the industry," said DXC Technology in response to the news.
Driving culture change
One of Kristie Grinnell’s greatest achievements has been driving culture change through DXC’s core values to inspire her team to perform its best work.
“Our core values are what drew me to a career at DXC,” says Kristie. “When company values so closely intersect with my own personal values – Deliver, Do the right thing, Care, Collaborate and supporting our Community – values on this level guide our culture and decisions we make as a company, and I try to instill these behaviors in every conversation I have with our team.”
Bringing together women
Within the first few months of Kristie's joining DXC, she led the company’s first globally integrated program to celebrate Women’s History Month with a female executive-led panel discussion joined by women and allies across the globe.
“My goal is to bring together women and allies across DXC, so we can pave the way for the next generation of young women in STEM,” she said. “It’s important for young girls in this field to grow up and see themselves in these roles, and I’m here to help pave the way for other women, such as my daughters.”
Leading an innovative mission
Recognitions, including Top 100 Women in Technology by Technology Magazine, have set the pace for Kristie's innovative mission for the team. Her focus include working to achieve a greater sense of connection across DXC and enable better business outcomes.
“We’re on a journey to deliver digital DXC and that starts with operational excellence within our IT organization, business alignment across our standards and processes, and becoming the customer showcase within DXC to drive innovative solutions that deliver for our customers,” Kristie said. “All while maintaining a focus on our customers, our people and the communities where we live and work.”
