NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Tim Getsay, an executive with an information technology consulting firm, has been named director of management information systems at Vanderbilt University.
Getsay's primary responsibility will be to provide leadership, management oversight and direction to the University's core administrative systems, according to Vice Chancellor for Finance Lauren J. Brisky. These systems include the financial systems, student systems, alumni and development system, human resources/payroll system, data center/operations, data administration, training/user services and technical infrastructure services. His appointment was effective Sept. 14.
Formerly the Office of Management Information Systems was the Office of Administrative Systems.
"I am confident that Tim Getsay is the right person to lead the administrative information technology area of the University into the new millennium. His skills, experience and positive attitude will enable us to meet the challenges of the future. We are fortunate to have him on our team," Brisky said.
Getsay joins Vanderbilt from Windward, Inc., a consulting firm specializing in PeopleSoft systems implementations; he served as the chief executive officer there. Getsay has a wide variety of information technology experience in consulting, project management, team building, strategic planning and client-server systems implementation, Brisky said. He holds a master's degree in labor and human resources from Ohio State University.
