Behind the Scenes with NetIP North America’s Technology Team
Rohit Verma, VP of Technology
As Vice President of Technology for NetIP North America, Rohit leads a very talented Technology Team to manage the North America website and a membership management system that supports the North America Team, Annual Conference and NetIP’s 24 chapters. In 2009, Rohit has enacted several initiatives to better streamline NetIP’s technology processes , such as standardizing the technologies used to develop chapter websites .
“I’ve worked alongside some incredibly talented individuals on NA and the local chapters with NetIP who are leaders in their fields. Honestly, my proudest moment serving on the North America team came during the design of a new logo for NetIP North America and its chapters in 2008. It gave me a personal opportunity to creatively define what it means to be South Asian and the importance of NetIP to our community.”
