ISC named Dan Hawryschuk as executive director, chief technology officer effective July 8. Mr. Hawryschuk leads ISC’s new Technology Services Group, which provides systems engineering, operations, networking and telecom services to the University.

Mr. Hawryschuk is a technology leader with 25 years of experience developing and managing both university and large corporate programs in technical implementation, risk management, infrastructure optimization and organization transformation. He was recently director of information technology at Cornell Information Technology (CIT), where he was instrumental in supporting the transformation of CIT’s Support Organization and broader campus IT services.

Prior to Cornell, he held senior IT positions for the Raymond Corporation at Toyota Material Handling North America, American Greetings Corporation, Affiliated Resource Group and Endurance Corporation.

Mr. Hawryschuk has great enthusiasm for innovation and embraces several practices from his days at Toyota. He says, “My favorite is Genchi Genbutsu, which translates to ‘go and see.’ The concept is that to fully understand a situation one needs to go to where the work is done. I like to visit the teams to understand what they are working on, experience their challenges and help to guide change based on real-world understanding.”

Mr. Hawryschuk completed his MBA at the University of Iowa’s Tippie School of Business and earned his bachelor’s degree in information systems administration and business management at Limestone College.
