CALIBRE Group chief information officer Jason Cowie has been named Industrials CIO of 2012 at the inaugural iTnews Benchmark Awards in Melbourne.
The award is in recognition of Mr Cowie’s work in executing a divisional revamp that has led to a boost in the department’s service levels and end-user satisfaction ratings, preparing the company to embark on its next stage of technology improvements for sustained growth.
Mr Cowie joined Calibre in late 2011 to oversee the company’s 20-strong IT team. Soon after he embarked on a major departmental restructure and stabilisation project, known as the R4 project (for review, rate, revise and refresh).
Calibre Group, an engineering construction firm founded in WA in 2002, completed an IPO about eight months ago, one of the largest successful IPOs of 2012.
