Eugene O'Callaghan

“It’s rare that you come across an executive that can cover all the bases like Eugene. I’ve had the pleasure of working as a direct report to Eugene as a global practice leader and business general manager for nearly 10 years. Eugene’s is impressive in taking complex and tangled digital transformation projects into a coherent set of consumable and achievable blocks of work. His experience in bringing to together disparate points of view into a concise set of objectives is a strength that has been demonstrated time and again at scale with culturally diverse teams and personalities. I particularly enjoyed his calm demeaner when things were at there worst on a project or with a client sorting the technical challenges from the emotional reactions creating a set of actions with verifiable milestones to ensure the work progressed to an agreed timeline with proper controls to address future issues. Eugene would be my first call to engage for the most daunting digital transformation projects to ensure they were planned, managed, and executed properly from the start. Nor would I hesitate to bring him in to put a faltering transformation effort on the right path that has not meet expectations.”

“Eugene was a tremendous mentor and thought provoker in driving our modernization strategy for our Genesys Customer Experience practice. His passionate focus on customers and continually delivering value every day to earn their business permeated everything we did. ”

“I have worked with Eugene for 7 years. There is no other leader I admire more for his vision, focus and technical skills that he brings to every customer engagement and relationship.”

“Eugene is an outstanding technical leader with a unique combination of breadth and depth across infrastructure and applications. He is results oriented with an ability to deliver as an individual and as a team leader. Eugene is the kind of person who relates well to others as a service provider, peer and leader. I really enjoyed working with Eugene and would not hesitate to work with him again if I ever had the opportunity.”

“I worked with Eugene O’Callaghan when he ran Core Architecture and Engineering at EDS. He accepted the challenge of guiding the company towards a single reference architecture, and he required that developers working on new products complied with this structure. His vision and persistence created stability and a level of confidence that had been missing up to that time. I leant from Eugene (and what better compliment can you give to anyone?). Most memorable was his determination that materials and meetings must be powerful, and worth the time taken to consume them. I would welcome the chance to work with Eugene again, and would consider him a strong, reliable and valuable colleague.”

“Eugene is one of the strongest IT professionals in the industry. He can play both the GM role and dive into the technology. Great with the client and a pleasure to work with. I am trying to convince him to come work in Europe! I highly recommend him.”

First role was leading a succesful Client Server Development team whilst I then personally sought out Eugene to run a critical infrastructure service operations team for team He is an exceptional manager whose combination of technical, business and personal leadership is matched by his ability to achieve outstanding senior customer satisfaction and results.

“Eugene and I worked together on many critical projects over three years at General Motors. Subsequently, I had the opportunity to work with Eugene again on other critical aspects of EDS infrastructure for an additional three years. In each role his teams met critical deadlines and delivered on time and on budget. Eugene is respected by not only the Engineers he manages but also by his peers and superiors. I highly recommend Eugene as a seasoned and qualified senior technical leader.”

Eugene excels at all key elements necessary to be an exceptional senior IT professional and has consistently supplied value to his clients, his peers, his team, and his company. His strengths include an ability to analyze and solve very complex technical and business challenges, lead large teams of IT professionals, and also the ability to articulate, in an extremely credible manner, to top executives of Fortune 50 firms. In addition, he brings a very refreshing positive attitude and outlook that draws people to him and makes him a very effective leader of both his own teams and client teams & executives.”
