Our Team
W&M Information Technology (IT) is a team of hardworking, dedicated individuals who have perservered through the difficult challenges brought on by the pandemic. They've continued to provide a reliable, flexible and secure technological environment that enables swift and skilled solutions for rapidly changing needs to advance teaching, learning, research, student success and operational efficiency at the university.
Here are some updates from our leadership:
Bernadette "Berni" Kenney
Deputy Chief Information Officer (DCIO)
“Though many units report to me, my work has been largely in support of all of IT. While I lead each of the functions in my purview, their work is largely independent, and each unit’s report will speak to that. Much of my work is focused on human resources, financial functions, communication needs, relationship building and service initiatives, to complement and support IT and university strategy. All is to ensure the success of the CIO and his leadership team. I have accomplished many things this year, but very notable is onboarding the first W&M Chief Data Officer, who has now become autonomous in her own right.”
Corinne Picataggi
Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
"For much of this year, I have been committed to health logistics, helping the university navigate pandemic with participation on both the COVID Response and Public Health Advisory teams, supervising our testing and case management programs, and coordinating all analytics and reporting. Outside of health logistics, I launched an effectiveness evaluation of our Salesforce CRM, prepared a proposal for tooling automation and organizational excellence in operations and developed a roadmap for our ERP/SIS technology stack to align with Vision 2026."

Pete Kellogg
Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)
"Incidents of ransomware, phishing emails, identity theft, financial fraud and massive breaches of personal data are frequent news stories. In response, the information security team has focused on securing our most vulnerable assets: people and their computing devices. Specifically, this past year we significantly improved our device protection and incident response capabilities. The recent implementation of university-wide information security training helps reduce the risk of information security incidents as well. Lastly, new logging and monitoring capabilities provide deeper insight and analytics about the security threats our systems face. In the coming year a key focus will be identity and access management services with an aim toward modernization.
