This year’s Premier 100 spotlights 100 award leaders from both the technology and business sides of companies for exceptional technology leadership, bringing innovative ideas and solutions to meet business challenges, and for effectively managed IT strategies.
“The Premier 100 awards program honors an elite group of IT executives," said Editor in Chief of Computerworld, Scot Finnie. "In the face of the past few years of economic turmoil that for many meant budget cuts and staff downsizing, these 100 men and women continued to innovate and deliver measurable business value. They begin 2011 recharged and ready, positioning their departments and businesses for speed and growth. We’re pleased to honor the achievements of these 100 men and women who deliver strategic vision and seamless leadership through turbulent times.”
In addition to being named to Computerworld’s Premier 100 IT Leaders, Jones has recently been recognized by Information Security Magazine and SearchSecurity.com as a Security Seven Award winner; SC Magazine as SC Awards finalist in CSO of the Year and Best Security Team categories; and ISE North America as finalist signifying one of the top five security executives in the US. He has also served as an expert source for leading industry analyst firms and tech reporters on topics such as Risk Management, enterprise email security, cloud computing and more.
"Bruce has shown exceptional IT leadership in steering security, risk management, compliance and data privacy strategies for Kodak,” said Sathvik Krishnamurthy, president and CEO, Voltage Security. “This award recognizes how a well-managed strategy that incorporates the right people, process and tools wins the day.”

About the Premier 100
The Premier 100 was first created in 2000 to spotlight individuals who have had a positive impact on their organization through technology. These are individuals who manage internal IT organizations, mentor and motivate their IT teams and business colleagues, create a positive work environment, envision innovative solutions to business challenges and effectively manage and execute IT strategies. Each year nominees are invited to complete a survey that addresses a number of topics, including their background and experience and their attitude toward risk and innovation. Using Computerworld’s IT Leader Index and using the data from the index, which is a measurement of how closely an individual matches our definition of the IT Leader, we analyze the data. Each year, 100 honorees are selected to receive this life-time recognition award. Information on previous honorees can be viewed at: www.computerworld.com/s/article/9120281/Premier_100_Alumni .
