Vice President for Digital Strategy and Chief Information Officer Announcement

Dear Highlanders,

I am very happy to announce that Ed Wozencroft has agreed to serve as NJIT’s Vice President for Digital Strategy and Chief Information Officer, effective March 20, 2023. Ed has been a member of the NJIT community since August of 2021 and has served as the university’s Interim Co-CIO since August of 2022. He emerged from a talented pool of candidates, in part, due to his exceptional work in moving NJIT’s digital strategy forward and articulating a vision for its future throughout his tenure as Interim Co-CIO. Ed has earned the respect and confidence of his colleagues while consistently demonstrating high levels of competence, creativity, collegiality, and performance.

Prior to joining NJIT, Ed worked for the Huron Consulting Group as a leader in their Higher Education Enterprise Solutions and Student Lifecycle Solutions practices, providing executive-level consulting for complex R1 universities such as the University of Washington, Iowa State University and University of Miami. Ed also served as the Deputy Head of Information Technology at Stevens Institute of Technology, where he oversaw several aspects of IT operations, including a significant transformation of their physical and application infrastructure. Throughout his career, Ed has gained significant experience in the development and realization of strategic plans, complex ERP implementations, process transformations, directing enterprise web services efforts, and forming high performing cross-functional teams.

I am grateful to Ed for all he has done to date and for his willingness to accept this critical role, which supports and facilitates everything we do at NJIT. Please join me in congratulating Ed, and in thanking the members of the Vice President for Digital Strategy and Chief Information Officer search committee for their work.

Sincerely,

Teik C. Lim

NJIT President
