Charlie Kirkpatrick
Educator, Technologist, and Watersport Enthusiast in Virginia Beach, Virginia
I am a Senior Lecturer at Old Dominion University's Strome College of Business and School of Cybersecurity, focusing on Enterprise Information Technology and Cybersecurity-related classes.
Since 2012, I have been a visiting scholar at the McIntire School of Commerce's Masters in the Management of Information Technology (MS-MIT) program at the University of Virginia. Current lectures include DevOps, Mobile in the Enterprise & IT Service Management.
With more years of technology management experience than I care to admit, including ten years as CIO at one of the largest franchise businesses in North America, I bring a pragmatic, industry-centric view to my lectures.
I provide periodic Strategic IT Consulting services, as well as cybersecurity lectures to local businesses.
My current focus is on IT Service Management, including DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering.
I currently reside in Virginia Beach, VA, and Waves, NC, in the heart of the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina.
