As part of this program, the company is partnering with technology companies around the world to accelerate the use of information to drive resource and energy efficiency. Prior to this role, Mr. Bernard was the general manager for the global Independent Software Vendor program, for which he managed teams supporting partnerships with over 50,000 software partners.
