He was awarded CIO of the Year by PhillyCIO last year, and won the Forbes CIO Innovation Award in 2016.

    Vanguard began using AWS for its cloud infrastructure after attending the cloud giant's annual re:Invent conference in 2015. Since then, Marcante has helped the company adopt a cloud-native IT architecture, and use AWS machine learning products like Amazon SageMaker and the serverless compute service Fargate.
    The company has also used Microsoft 365 for its IT infrastructure since 2018. It moved 23,000 employees and contractors, along with 80 terabytes of data, from its on-site hardware to Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, Exchange Online, and SharePoint Online.

    SPIRIT OF INNOVATION: “Our strategy around innovation focuses on giving employees the opportunity to solve problems and drive outcomes, instead of just delivering solutions based on a set of requirements,” says John Marcante, CIO of The Vanguard Group. “In the past, companies have defined success by measuring progress against pre-defined timelines and specific milestones, but our goal is to shift to…

    SPIRIT OF INNOVATION: “Our strategy around innovation focuses on giving employees the opportunity to solve problems and drive outcomes, instead of just delivering solutions based on a set of requirements,” says John Marcante, CIO of The Vanguard Group. “In the past, companies have defined success by measuring progress against pre-defined timelines and specific milestones, but our goal is to shift to an operating model that puts the focus on driving business value at startup speed.”

    FUN FACT: “I’m an avid surfer. I picked it up as a challenge from my youngest son, Matt.”

    COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: The financial services industry has become more competitive as new technology has allowed startups and other outside players to become a disruptive presence. “The solutions that IT delivers are crucial to helping Vanguard react to those changes and remain competitive,” says Marcante. “One of our most recent success stories is the rollout of Vanguard’s Personal Advisor Services (PAS) in 2015. PAS is a unique, hybrid financial advice offer that combines Vanguard’s time-tested investment methodology with a best-in-class digital experience.”

    ABOVE AND BEYOND: When Marcante took over as CIO in 2012, his team endeavored to better understand changes in the financial services landscape and create an enduring vision to redefine how Vanguard delivers business solutions. This process has led Vanguard to embrace cloud technologies and adopt new, service-based architectures, says Marcante.

This award is open to chief information officers of any multi-billion dollar enterprise who have demonstrated the ability to generate real revenue growth.…
