This includes cybersecurity, enterprise applications, infrastructure and hardware, IT operations, help desk, end-user support, artificial intelligence and data science and the full portfolio of technology projects across all three brands.

Strategy & Planning
- Identify technology trends and evolving social behavior that may support or impede the success of the business. Evaluate and identify appropriate technology platforms (including web application frameworks and the deployment stack) for delivering the company’s services.
- Establish a governance process that meets government, partner, and company expectations for customer information privacy and other regulatory compliance.
- Acquisition, maintenance and cost-effective technology including internal infrastructure, systems and client integration.
- Prepare department budget and resource/infrastructure requirements.
Execution & Implementation
- Direct management of engineers/developers (on-shore and off-shore), DBAs, QA staff, product management, infrastructure and production support teams as well as technology partners and vendors.
- Ensure high availability and resilience of systems supporting store operations, distribution centers, and corporate functions.
- Oversee technology asset lifecycle management, hardware refresh cycles, and vendor/OEM relationships.
- Drive standardization and operational efficiency across store-level technology deployments.
Cybersecurity & Risk Management
- Own enterprise-wide cybersecurity strategy, governance, and risk management, ensuring protection of customer data, payment systems (PCI compliance), and corporate assets across all brands.
- Ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements (PCI-DSS, state/federal privacy laws, data protection regulations).
- Establish incident response, disaster recovery, and business continuity plans; lead the organization through security incidents when they occur.
- Oversee security operations, vulnerability management, identity and access management, and third-party/vendor risk assessments.
Artificial Intelligence Strategy, Governance and Execution
- Own the enterprise AI strategy and roadmap, identifying and prioritizing high-value use cases across ecommerce, merchandising, marketing, supply chain, customer service, and store operations and all cross functional areas that drive measurable revenue growth, margin improvement, and cost efficiency across both brands and all three websites.
- Champion the adoption of AI, across the technology team and the entire organization.
- Establish an AI governance framework covering responsible and ethical AI use, data privacy, model risk management, bias mitigation, and compliance with emerging AI regulations, ensuring AI initiatives are deployed safely and in alignment with customer trust and brand standards.
- Evaluate and select AI platforms, tools, and vendor/partner relationships (cloud AI/ML services, generative AI and LLM providers, AI-enabled SaaS and copilot tools) that accelerate time-to-value while effectively managing cost, security, and risk.
- Drive a culture of AI literacy and experimentation across the technology organization and the broader business, including deploying internal AI tools that improve developer productivity, IT operations (AIOps), and enterprise efficiency.
Collaboration, Operations & Maintenance
- Maintain up-to-date knowledge of technology standards, industry trends, emerging technologies, and software development best practices
- Define and communicate company values and standards for acquiring or developing systems, equipment, or software within the company.
