CUNA Mutual’s VP Named ‘Enterprise CIO of the Year’

Rick Roy, CUNA Mutual Group's senior VP and CIO, has been named the 2011 Chief Information Officer of the Year, Enterprise category, by the Wisconsin Chapter of the Society of Information Management (SIM) and the Business Journal of Milwaukee.

Launched in 2010, the SIM Wisconsin awards highlight the significant role of technology, says Jeffrey Melcher, president of SIM Wisconsin and director of technology support and energy delivery at We Energies.

CUNA says nominations are taken in four categories: enterprise—more than 1,000 IT users; corporate—250 to 1,000 IT users; emerging business—below 250 IT users; and nonprofit. Nominations are scored independently by a panel of senior-level IT professionals.

Under Roy’s leadership, says CUNA, the company has received several prestigious industry awards, including the CIO 100, InfoWorld 100, and InformationWeek’s 500 Most Innovative IT Organizations.
