UM’S TEMARES NAMED ONE OF BUSINESS WORLD’S TOP 100 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LEADERS
M. Lewis Temares, Ph.D., vice president for information technology at the University of Miami, has been named by Computerworld Magazine one of the business world’s Premier 100 IT Leaders. The award honors individuals who have had a positive impact on their organizations through technology.
Now in its third year, the Premier 100 IT Leaders award is recognizing Temares for exceptional technology leadership, innovative approaches to business challenges, and effective execution of comprehensive IT strategies. He will be honored at a March conference in California.
Temares was selected from hundreds of nominees who most closely matched Computerworld’s Leadership Index, a set of characteristics that describes those executives who guide the effective use of IT in their organizations. Honorees include executives from The Bank of New York, Hewlett Packard, Staples, and FedEx Corporation. Only three other award winners are from Florida: IT leaders at Office Depot, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, and Walt Disney World. Only one other IT leader in U.S. higher education made the list.
The professor has worked at the University of Miami since 1980 and has been vice president for information technology for 10 years. He also has been dean of the College of Engineering for eight years and has served the University in a variety of leadership roles. Prior to joining UM, Temares was at Hunter College and Baruch College of the City University of New York. Throughout his career, he has received numerous honors for his leadership in information technology.
