Sterling said, “I am delighted to join the Skidmore community. I look forward to working in collaboration with academic departments, offices and other administrative units to develop and manage an efficient and robust information system and related services in support of Skidmore’s mission and priorities.”
Sterling joins Skidmore from Adirondack Health Institute in Glens Falls, where he is the director of technology and information security officer. He previously held other senior positions in information technology and information services, including manager of information services and senior project manager at Albany Medical Center and College, and business intelligence systems analyst at Golub Corporation in Schenectady.
At Adirondack Health Institute, Sterling was the strategist and architect behind the institute’s first information services and information technology security infrastructure, which required the creation of an 18-month roadmap for housing sensitive healthcare data and protecting network resources. He also oversaw all IT, security and telecommunications projects and initiatives, including future planning, budgets and contracts.
