'It was the single best decision of my life, because I developed personal, professional and leadership skills that would have taken me a lifetime in the marketplace. 'He then transitioned to leadership roles in sales and marketing until 2011, when he founded My Mobile Fans, an Indianapolis-based technology company providing mobile application design and development services. After 25 years of executive leadership experience across a variety of business units and industries, Dalton joined the IVM team in 2018 as CIO. 'It’s exciting to be a non-technical CIO who is helping to bridge the gaps between the business and the technology sides of the organization.'
