Summary
Joe Roddy is a senior technology executive with over 20 years of experience designing and operating enterprise IT that drives global business performance, cost reduction, and resilience. As SVP of IT at Blackstone portfolio companies and founder of his own consultancy, he has led cloud migrations, virtualization, and business continuity programs that cut backup/recovery times by 60% and IT support costs by 30%. He combines strategic vision—roadmapping infrastructure, security, and M&A-related integrations—with hands-on delivery, having built revenue-generating solutions like a web-based fraud prevention system spun off from internal innovation. Comfortable across finance and energy sectors, Joe pairs an MBA in finance with deep operational chops in SAP, Veeam/AWS, and network segmentation to balance risk, compliance, and agility. He’s equally at home negotiating vendor contracts and rolling up his sleeves to rationalize tech stacks, and he brings an uncommon track record of turning internal IT projects into new business opportunities. Based in New York, he prefers pragmatic, measurable change and is known for finding cost and efficiency wins that others overlook.
