Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoger Franklin is a data-focused IT leader with 11 years of professional experience managing large-scale databases, migrations, and analytics programs across public policy and enterprise finance sectors. As Data Manager at the Illinois Sentencing Policy and Advisory Council and former senior DB2 Z/OS DBA at TransUnion, he has led multi-terabyte migrations, automated DBA processes, and driven process changes that cut delivery times and ticket processing by substantial margins. He blends hands-on technical skills (COBOL, Rexx, SQL tuning, mainframe DB2) with program leadership—presenting remediation plans to VPs, ensuring SOX/PCI compliance, and mentoring teams to exceed KPIs. A serial problem-solver and founder of an IT consulting practice and a nonprofit sports academy, he pairs technical rigor with operational and community-minded leadership. Notably, he has repeatedly delivered both rapid cost savings (e.g., $300K tool replacement) and sustained productivity gains through automation and process redesign.
