IDG's Computerworld  announced that Jim Swanson, Monsanto CIO, has been named a 2015 Premier 100 IT Leaders honoree. This year’s Premier 100 spotlights leaders from both the technology and business sides of companies for their exceptional technology leadership and innovative approaches to business challenges.

"The Premier 100 awards program showcases the innovative work of a dedicated group of IT leaders who are using technology to solve business problems in their organizations," said Scot Finnie, editor in chief of Computerworld. "Every day, these tech-savvy professionals are positioning their organizations for success by mapping IT projects to strategic business initiatives. They also ensure that their departments are set up to quickly enable new ideas, and they balance the need for free and open access to information with concerns about security and compliance. These 100 men and women are using their vast experience in managing people and projects to stay a step ahead. We're pleased to recognize their leadership and honor their achievements."

The Premier 100 awards ceremony at which Jim will receive an award will be one of the highlights of the AGENDA15 Conference held March 30 - April 1, 2015, in Amelia Island, Florida. The conference, to be attended by more than 300 influential business and senior IT executives, will focus on transforming business for the digital world.
