In the new role, Storey is responsible for providing leadership and direction for the university’s IT systems, services and digital strategies.
“This new position allows me to combine my experience with Mercer’s IT landscape and my passion for continuous learning to shape a future-focused and dynamic IT environment,” Storey said in the release. “My goal is to leverage technology as a strategic asset, fostering innovation and collaboration across the university to advance our mission and support the success of our students, faculty and staff.”
