Welcome to my tech blog! I’m Ernest Gilmore, a seasoned technology leader with over 20 years of experience driving innovation, leading transformative IT operations, and mentoring the next generation of tech professionals. Starting this blog was a natural extension of my lifelong passion for technology and leadership, inspired by the desire to share my knowledge and experiences with a broader audience.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of holding senior leadership roles, including VP of Technical Services and Senior IT Manager roles in Oil and Gas, and recently non-profit organizations. These positions have given me the opportunity to spearhead significant IT initiatives, from large-scale digital transformations to infrastructure upgrades and cybersecurity enhancements. One of my proudest achievements is implementing an IT Service Management (ITSM) framework that not only standardized service delivery processes but also dramatically improved service quality and customer satisfaction.
My journey in technology began with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, which laid the foundation for my technical expertise. However, it was my early move into leadership roles that truly ignited my passion for innovation and making a meaningful impact on the organizations I served. Over the years, I’ve led Agile transformation initiatives, improved project delivery times, enhanced team collaboration, and fostered a culture of continuous improvement within the teams I’ve managed.
I’m particularly passionate about several key areas of technology, including digital transformation, cybersecurity, IT Service Management, and the intersection of leadership and technology. I believe that technology is only as strong as the people who drive it, and I’m committed to developing future IT leaders who can navigate the complexities of our ever-evolving digital landscape. My work has always been guided by a commitment to excellence, continuous learning, and the power of technology to transform businesses and lives.
This blog is my way of giving back to the tech community that has given me so much. Whether you’re an IT executive, a mid-level manager, a cybersecurity professional, or someone new to the tech field, I hope you’ll find valuable insights, practical advice, and inspiration here. My goal is to create a platform that sparks meaningful conversations, fosters continuous learning, and connects like-minded professionals who are passionate about technology and leadership.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Together, we can explore the latest trends, tackle the biggest challenges, and lead with purpose in this ever-evolving digital world.
