Altres promotes new chief information officer from within
The new CIO will oversee IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, product management, software development and more.
Hawaii staffing company Altres has promoted Madhu Lundquist to the role of chief information officer to oversee the company's technology operations.
He succeeds Jeff Oki, who is retiring after 30 years with the company.
Lundquist joined Altres in 2004 as a web developer, and the company said that he 'has played a pivotal role in modernizing the organization's digital infrastructure, starting with the development of its first online job application platform.'
Over the years, he has climbed the ranks through the company, going on to serve as senior web developer and director of web technologies. Altres said some of his key contributions to the company include developing a system to track applicants, its HR Symphony platform, and a health screening tool during the Covid-19 pandemic.
In his new role, Lundquist will oversee IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, product management, software development and more, with a focus on 'innovation, system reliability, and creating secure, scalable and user-friendly solutions,' Altres said.
In a statement, Altres CEO Barron Guss said that he is 'pleased' to have Lundquist as chief information officer.
'He has consistently played a pivotal role in changing our digital landscape, and his forward-thinking vision combined with his ability to align technology with our company goals makes him the ideal person to lead our IT department,' Guss stated.
