Michael Lonier
As the CIO and vice president of operations at The Deal LLC-a financial information provider-Lonier is responsible for digital product development, technical operations, audience development, production, manufacturing and distribution. Working closely with The Deal's CEO Kevin Worth, Lonier has led a technology and product transformation, changing The Deal from a traditional diversified b-to-b media company, with publications and related digital products and events, into a high-value enterprise-licensed financial information service provider. To drive this transformation, he assembled new IT and operations teams, built out new technology infrastructure, and replaced The Deal's content management platform, leading to the October 2008 launch of The Deal Pipeline, a proprietary blend of deal news and transaction content that is now part of the daily Web-based and mobile workflow of large law firms, investment banks, fund managers, and advisors.
