I have known Richard Lowe for 17 years. For 13 years I was the VP of Information Technology for Trader Joe’s Company, headquartered in Monrovia, California, and Richard was my Director of IT Operations. He was responsible for the daily operation of the computer systems, scheduling, application and system software updates, and disaster center preparedness. Over that 13-year period Richard and his staff assumed additional responsibilities such as overall desktop support, credit card transaction security (PCI), and general overall system security.
While Richard has specific expertise in disaster preparedness and recovery, he has an excellent grasp of overall IT operations. He put this skillset to work on a daily basis overseeing an extremely efficient and secure data center. I have no doubt Richard would be a valuable resource for any company looking to enhance, strengthen and improve IT disaster recovery and business continuity policies.
