FINANCE MONTHLY CEO AWARDS 2017 www.finance-monthly.com 52 UNITED KINGDOM JEFF VONDEYLEN CEO of Ensono T: +44 1784 211100 | E: info@ensono.com | W: www.ensono.co.uk FIRM PROFILE Ensono helps business leaders manage complexity and disrupt the status quo with consultative hybrid IT services from cloud to mainframe, tailored to each client’s journey. Whether clients are leveraging the power of the cloud or modernising legacy technologies for digital transformation, Ensono helps clients operate for today and optimise for tomorrow. Some of the world’s most successful companies rely on Ensono to help them be great at what they do. Although Ensono has more than four decades of experience managing complex IT, it acts with the drive and agility of a start-up since its spinoff and rebranding from Acxiom in 2015. With the acquisition of hybrid IT services company Attenda in 2016, Ensono extended its reach to support its clients’ global operations, and strengthened its offerings across public cloud. Ensono participates in a massive market, with over $100 billion in global opportunity with some segments growing double digits. The company invests millions of dollars each year into research and development, so it is uniquely capable of advising clients on how best to develop forward-thinking and innovative services. Ensono continues to add services to meet the needs of today’s rapidly evolving technology landscape. Most recently, Ensono announced the creation of its Hyperscale Cloud business unit which is dedicated to advancing its managed cloud service offerings built on Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. Jeff VonDeylen says: “The most rewarding part in leading this company has been establishing Ensono’s core values with our associates and holding true to those principles. Ensono has a culture that puts clients first and challenges its associates to make decisions that are right for the client and support their goals.” This client-centric philosophy and associate engagement has earned it a top spot in The Sunday Times’ 100 Best Companies to work for 2017. Ensono will continue to execute on its growth initiatives through purpose-driven IT innovation to help its clients be great at what they do. ABOUT JEFF VONDEYLEN Jeff VonDeylen has a track record of building highly successful companies by delivering solutions that enable clients to be great at what they do. Jeff views Ensono as a start- up, but unlike most start-ups, the company has a $275M revenue base with a roster of exceptional clients. To continue to build upon the company’s success, Jeff and his team intend to foster a culture that is laser- focused on delivering superior client service, as well as investing in technology innovation and thought leadership to meet the needs of clients into the future. Before accepting the CEO position with Ensono, VonDeylen served as chief financial officer, and later as president, at Savvis, now part of CenturyLink. In his 12 years at the organisation, his leadership helped Savvis grow from $200 million to $1.4 billion before the acquisition. VonDeylen holds a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy from Miami University. Serving his community has always been a priority for Jeff. He has been active with his local school and church boards and believes education should be “reachable” for all children. He has also worked with the Matthew Dickey Boys and Girls Club in St. Louis.
