"Syed brings to this position the tremendous skills and business acumen he learned in the very tough and highly competitive auto industry," said Lavigne. "He will work closely with the USIS IT application development team and business leaders across USIS on several key initiatives. We will also look to him for assistance in standardizing our internal IT application development processes that support our business needs."
