Interview: Ken Kucera, Senior Vice President/CIO, First National Bank of Nebraska
This interview is part of ITworld's regular "How I got here" series which focuses on the career path of successful IT professionals.
Ken Kucera grew up on a farm in rural Nebraska, doing various farming related activities such as cow milking, harvesting and putting up hay -- but he quickly decided that farming was not a long-term career path for him, so he studied IT in college. At Mutual of Omaha, Ken began life in IT as a computer programmer and quickly ascended into more responsible management positions that lead him to larger organizations and very different work environments (New York City).
Ken ultimately found his niche "back home" in Omaha, where he currently serves as Senior Vice President and CIO of First National Bank of Omaha, a subsidiary of First National of Nebraska, (20 billion dollars in assets and over 7,000 employees); one of the top fifty bank holding companies in the United States.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
