As Director of IT at Comfort Keepers , Sodexo Home Care North America , Alexandra Montgomery ’ s efforts are focused on aligning the company ’ s global enterprise architecture , data and digital transformation .
“ We look at it as harnessing the power of technology to truly add value and a better quality of life for our end users ,” says Montgomery .
She adds : “ At Sodexo , our core mission and purpose is to create a better every day for everyone , to build a better life for all . It ' s not only about the clients that we serve , it ' s rooted much deeper and truly represents how the company views its employees and partnerships as well .”
Women in technology Inspired by the concept that ‘ technology offers optimism ’, Montgomery ’ s background in sociology - which requires a person to continuously ask ‘ why ?’ - made her a prime candidate for the technology industry .
“ Working in technology encourages people to see new possibilities , challenging what was once done to what can be done ,” explains Montgomery . “ I first saw a job posting to assist the IT department with traditional IT Help Desk support for a large company and looked at it as an opportunity from the beginning .”
