DALE DENHAM

Father of 4 fun kids, married to my high school sweetheart, CIO of Geiger, PromoKitchen and PPAI Board member. I spent 5 years in a technology startup in the industry before joining ASI and spending 10 years as senior vice president overseeing all technology and several business units.

I've spent my career in a mix of sales, marketing, operational, and IT roles and have adopted "The selling CIO" as my moniker for my love of sales and helping to drive business.

I am most proud of my recent recognition as a Premier 100 CIO by Computerworld. However, the award fails to recognize what a great team did to enable the award including a great organization like Geiger.
