CarterBaldwin Places IT Leader Mike McClaskey in Chief Information Officer Role for DISH Network Corporation

Roswell, GA (PRWEB) May 6, 2008 -- CarterBaldwin Executive Search, a leading provider of retained executive search services in Atlanta (http://www.carterbaldwin.com/expertise.html), announced this week that its search to fill the CIO position for DISH Network Corporation has ended in the selection of Mike McClaskey, formerly of Perot Systems Corporation. As the senior information technology leader, McClaskey's role will be to develop the overall information technology mission, the company's strategic objectives and supporting tactical plans. As CIO for DISH Network, he will also manage a 900+ person IT staff consisting of internal and outside resources.

McClaskey's most recent background includes 12 years with Perot Systems, where he served as Group Director for New Business Development of Global Infrastructure Services before becoming CIO and senior leader for Infrastructure Solutions in 2002. To his new tenure with DISH Network, he will bring broad experience in enterprise IT operations and governance, technology strategy, outsourcing and globalization.

CarterBaldwin partner Margaret A. (Maggie) Bellville led the Atlanta-based executive search (http://www.carterbaldwin.com/firmprofile.html) efforts for DISH Network.

"This was a critical position for DISH Network," said Bellville. "Theirs is a large, complex environment and the candidate we were looking for had to have significant hands-on technology transformation leadership experience."

Bellville, who joined CarterBaldwin in 2005 to establish a specialty practice area in Telecommunications and Broadband, employed her own hands-on experience in the search, from the creation of the search profile through presentation of relevant findings to DISH Network.

"Mike McClaskey is a perfect fit for DISH Network," continued Bellville. "He is both innovative and award winning; his experience includes 20 years of senior level technology experience. He fully understands that after 10 years of explosive growth, DISH Network is ready for a deliberate strategic plan--a sound strategy for assessing the objectives and priorities for going forward into the next stage."

DISH Network Corporation, formerly known as EchoStar Communications and listed by Fortune as the nation's 252nd largest company, is among the sizable share (40 percent) of the CarterBaldwin client roster that comes from the Fortune 500. Others include Dover Corporation, Newell Rubbermaid, Unisource Worldwide, Husqvarna, InterContinental Hotels Group, and General Dynamics.

California Now Harvesting One of the Largest Olive Crops in Years: CNBC TV Highlights $500 Million U.S. Market
"The New Oil Boom," (olive oil, that is) is featured on last Friday's CNBC's "Squawk on the Street, Another Type of Oil with Jane Wells." In her piece, Ms. Wells covered "a new oil boom, and a new oil war," referring to doubled U.S. production and the push by U.S. producers for "truth in advertising" on labels. As the originators of more than 98% of all the extra virgin olive oil produced domestically, California producers are competing against dozens of imported oils, many of which may be incorrectly labeled. Ms. Wells commented that some producers from other countries "have maybe mixed in canola oil ... " and "call their olive oil extra virgin, even if it's only like a virgin."
