Steve Romeo

College of Information Systems and Technology

Master of Information Systems, 2005

While working as a help desk administrator in 1994, Steve Romeo pondered his career prospects and the results were grim. Without formal education, his options were limited. That was enough to convince him to pursue his education with University of Phoenix. He earned a bachelor’s degree in business and went on to complete his master's degree in technology management.

Steve is now the Vice President of IT at Breg Inc., a developer of premium orthopedic, reconstructive and postoperative products. He was awarded the Oracle Ace Director Award in Applications in which only three Oracle Ace Directors are recognized each year. He was also named one of Computerworld’s Premier 100 IT Leaders for his effective use of IT within his organization. These IT industry leadership awards are highly competitive and are accomplishments that Steve is extremely proud of, rivaled only by earning his master’s degree in computer information systems.
