Computerworld top 100 includes three Wisconsin CIOs

Three Wisconsin chief information officers made the Computerworld magazine's top-100 list this year. They were:

• Carlton Harper, CIO of Modine Manufacturing Co., in Racine. Modine specializes in thermal management systems such as cooling for a new soccer stadium in London and a carbon-dioxide-cooled Jeep, and has been active in fuel-cell development.

• Matthew Lynch, senior vice president and CIO of ShopKo Stores Inc., in Green Bay. ShopKo has 137 stores under that name, plus 216 Pamida stores.

• Paul Mueller, vice president of technology services at Schneider National Inc., also in Green Bay. Schneider provides trucking and logistics services and says it serves two-thirds of the Fortune 500.

You can view the full list of 100 CIOs online. The publication had a panel of 16 judges review the answers CIOs gave to questionnaires asking them about their management style, plus three references. The references included a direct manager and report, and an outside professional reference.

Computerworld said it received 466 nominations and 278 completed questionnaires.
