Mr. Certuche will be responsible for the company's software development methodology, with special emphasis on supporting its clients in their adoption of the Rational Unified Process (RUP) and in meeting the rigorous demands associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
Mr. Certuche has a diverse background in information technology, most recently serving as software architect, project manager, and RUP evangelist for firms ranging from Fortune 500 companies to technology start-ups. He is currently attending the Executive MBA program at Rice University and will be taking responsibility for the Rice Business Review.
