BlueVoyant recently entered into a strategic alliance with CDW where CDW and BlueVoyant will serve as each other’s preferred technology partners to bring complete full-stack cybersecurity solutions to the companies’ mutual customers.

Most recently the executive vice president for managed and cloud services at CDW’s Sirius, Conley also served on the board of directors. Prior to joining Sirius, Conley held the role of senior vice president at Forsythe Technology, now an integrated part of Sirius, where he specialized in emerging technologies and key accounts. He joined Forsythe in 1993 as an account manager and quickly rose through the ranks by serving many of the company’s largest clients, focusing on security strategies.
Conley has been a guest-lecturer for the Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management and the University of Notre Dame Executive MBA Program, educating executive business students about IT issues in business context. He is also a sought-after commentator on technology, including for Tech Talk with Craig Peterson, the No. 1 Saturday morning radio show in the Boston market. Additionally, he has been published in CIO Insight, IT Business Edge, and Information Today.
