NAME: John Carne

AGE: 52

TITLE: CIO

COMPANY: MTM Technologies Inc.

ANNUAL REVENUE: $280 million

INDUSTRY: Computer support services

LOCATION: Stamford, Conn.

START DATE: February 2007

PREVIOUS JOB: Global manufacturing company

THE SOLUTION: Mars formed an SAP project team by enlisting the most competent business people.

HOW DID YOU GET THAT JOB?: I was calling a colleague of mine in Europe and thumbed down one too many names in my cell phone directory. I accidentally dialed a good friend of mine who had moved into the recruiting field. As we were catching up, he mentioned that he was helping write a specification for a CIO job that might be perfect for me. Five months and 14 interviews later, I joined MTM Corp. as CIO.

SELLING POINT: I enjoy working in a small company with a smart, customer-focused team. At MTM, we have many highly competent people, working hard to help out our customers and building our business.
