Dimond was selected as a Premier 100 IT Leader from nearly 500 nominees who were measured against Computerworld’s IT Leadership Index and evaluated by the editors and by an external panel of judges. The Index weighs a set of characteristics that describes executives who guide the effective use of IT in their organizations.

Recently, Dimond led efforts to formalize a master data management program in order to correct customer data quality issues. Through the program, the company defined enterprise standards for data collection and cleansed the system to form the repository for all customer master data. The initiative was designed to serve as the foundational piece for Schneider’s overall customer relationship management (CRM) strategy.

“The professionals honored in Computerworld’s 2007 Premier 100 IT Leaders program, and by extension the organizations they represent, are clearly mindful of their role and obligation as leaders of the global IT community,” said Don Tennant, editor in chief, Computerworld. “Their willingness to brave the scrutiny of the limelight as they share their experiences with their peers has won out respect, appreciation and deep admiration.”

“Vava has a strong track record of success here at Schneider, and we are extremely pleased she is being recognized for her hard work,” said Judy Lemke, executive vice president and chief information officer at Schneider National. “Her ability to use technology to add value to the business is a key strength and asset to our organization.”

The complete list of Computerworld’s Premier 100 IT Leaders of 2007 can be found online at www.premier100.com and in the Dec. 11, 2006, issue of Computerworld. This special issue highlights the challenges IT leaders expect to face in the coming year, including developing their staff’s skills, mapping current IT initiatives with the top priorities of their CEOs and driving innovation.
