About

A leader, an innovator,
a technical strategist.

I am Rodney Wilson, a senior technology executive with more than two decades of experience spanning systems development, business analysis, program management, and C-suite-level technology leadership across aviation, financial services, and the public sector.

My most recent chapter was a 13-year tenure at JetBlue Airways, where I served as Senior IT Manager (Director level) over IT Customer and Crewmember Experience for Airports, Inflight and Onboard Technology products. I held named IT lead accountability across the enterprise's most operationally critical systems: BlueEye, eGOR, BlueIDS, IFSA, NGID2, AI/ML Baggage Forecasting and so much more.

I drove innovation that defined the industry: the world-first tap-to-pay boarding experience built in partnership with Apple, and a portfolio of 0-to-1 platforms including biometric identity verification, Real-Time Turn Clock, AO Shared iPad Initiative, and Proactive Carry-on Bag Collection.

Across a concurrent portfolio that at peak included eight simultaneously active business cases, I managed $15M+ in annual program budgets while serving as named IT lead on every initiative. Introducing Agile/Scrum methods produced a 50% improvement in delivery timelines.

Before JetBlue, I led client implementations at Broadridge Financial Services, managed PMO functions at PwC, and built my technical foundation across 8 years at NYC government agencies, rising from Systems Developer to Division Director.

Beyond program delivery, I have served as the integral technical lead for M&A and due diligence across every Business Partner contract at global scale, partnering directly with Legal, and have engaged the startup ecosystem through JetBlue Tech Ventures to identify and evaluate early-stage technology partners informing enterprise strategy.

Throughout my career I have paired Director-level program ownership with hands-on IC work, Visio flowcharting, personal application development, and systems analyst execution, keeping architectural and delivery instincts sharp alongside executive accountability.
