Management Team

 

Neil A Twa

CEO

Neil runs the show at ICON, and the buck stops at his desk. And if he keeps things moving in the right direction, we might have more than one buck to rub together. For now, he encourages us to do a lot with a little and to be creative with our ideas and our energy. Prior to ICON, Neil was a SR IBM consultant, traveling the world in support of IBM's Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Communications practice. With over 10 years of technology, consulting and customer service experience Neil was a key part of the knowledge management practice within IBM. His leadership roles lead to unique opportunities to reduce costs and drive new ideas for business development. He has experience with a few small companies you might have heard of, including IBM, Sprint, Verizon Wireless, Qwest, Thomson Publishing and Cummins.
