A boat lover, Mark Sanders is a big fan of technology that supports navigation. This includes sonar, radar, and sound propagation devices–or, as he explains, any tool that helps determine “where you are, when you are.”

Such navigational prowess is bound to help Sanders in his role as chief technology officer and senior vice president at New York Life Insurance, the largest mutual life insurance company in the United States. He joined the company in April 2006.

Within his first year, Sanders intends to accomplish several goals: realign the skills and experience of his IT staff more closely with the business; develop and begin implementing a multiyear IT strategic plan; and add features to several ongoing IT initiatives to improve efficiencies and gain competitive advantage.
