Ford himself has more than two decades of experience in Global Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) and Application Management Services (AMS), executive sales, solution architecting, service delivery, and operations management. His leadership has resulted in over $5 billion in outsourcing sales contracts secured during his career.
