Yet what these individuals have in common is an expertise born of hard work and an intangible leadership quality they can tap to successfully champion IT not only as a business enabler, but as a business influencer."
Ferderer's career in information technology and telecom spans more than 13 years. Prior to serving as Chief Information Officer for TelCove, he was Vice President, Chief Information Officer for Priority Telecom -- a telecommunications company headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
