Teremark CIO gives you one seasoned technology executive who owns the outcome, speaks P&L, and answers to your board — without vendor conflicts or the cost of a full-time hire.
Clear visibility into technology risk, spend, vendors, regulatory readiness, and execution.
Most CEOs do not have a technology problem. They have a technology accountability problem.
Status reports are not straight answers. Vendors manage tools, internal teams manage work, but too often no one owns the business outcome.
Whether you need fractional, interim, advisory, or project leadership, Teremark CIO provides experienced executive accountability without forcing a full-time hire.
Manage IT resources, policies, procedures, budgets, technology strategy, vendor oversight, and operational priorities.
Align technology infrastructure, architecture, systems, applications, and innovation with business growth and delivery.
Strengthen cybersecurity strategy, governance, risk management, compliance, and executive-level reporting.
Your CIO, CTO, or CISO left and critical initiatives cannot stall.
You are approaching an OCC, FDIC, or NCUA examination.
A core conversion or digital initiative is behind or over budget.
Technology risk could affect price, close, or integration.
The board wants answers and leadership needs a controlled response.
You cannot tell whether technology is an asset or liability.
During his time as CIO, Mark Blazek demonstrated exceptional leadership, persistence, and strategic vision in guiding complex technology initiatives across the organization.

“During his time as CIO, Mark Blazek demonstrated exceptional leadership, persistence, and strategic vision in guiding complex technology initiatives across the organization. One accomplishment that particularly stands out was his leadership in successfully delivering our Loan Management System after multiple prior organizational attempts. Achieving that result required not only technical expertise, but also patience, coordination, accountability, and the ability to keep teams aligned through challenges and change. Mark brought professionalism, steadiness, and a solutions-oriented mindset to an incredibly demanding role, and our organization is stronger because of his contributions."
"I've known and worked with Mark since 2004 across a variety of different teams at USAA. Mark has deep technical and leadership depth in all aspects of IT to include IT Architecture, IT Operations, and IT Program and Project delivery. Under Mark's executive leadership at USAA, we were able to maintain the highest levels of availability while outsourcing key elements of our operational support infrastructure. Mark helped in establishing a centralized IT multi-level support center made possible by his experience and in-depth knowledge of how our IT Operations Center operated. Mark has always had an amazing talent for finding the hidden opportunity in every challenge, and his go getter attitude makes him the perfect candidate for the most difficult assignments. Mark is an asset to any organization lucky enough to have him."
"Strategically focused, action oriented in my mind describes Mark. I had the opportunity of serving alongside Mark at USAA for over a decade in a variety of roles. And every time, no matter the role Mark was serving, he always was a great team player and leader in advancing common objectives. He is a servant leader, one who takes care of his teams and has their best interest in mind. I'm honored to recommend Mark for both his grounded leadership style and most important his ability to execute under pressure while keeping the long term strategy top of mind. An overall great technology leader!"
