Summary
Shawn Kendrick is an accomplished IT leader and enterprise server architect with over two decades of hands-on experience and 11 years in senior roles, currently serving as Associate Director Global IT at Concentrix. He specializes in Windows Server, VMware/ESXi, SAN, Veeam, Citrix XenApp, and Active Directory architecture, with a proven track record of consolidating and virtualizing multiple data centers and driving large-scale migrations. Shawn combines deep technical troubleshooting and design skills with strong documentation and change-control practices, having led DR planning, compliance audits (HIPAA, SOX, PCI), and 24/7 production support. He pairs formal computer science training (BS, magna cum laude) and multiple certifications with a practical knack for automating documentation and simplifying complex infrastructure during mergers and consolidations. Not obvious from the title: he shifted environments from mostly physical to predominantly virtual (80/20 to 10/90) and built ESX environments from scratch, demonstrating both strategic vision and execution.
