By day, Meg McCarthy is surrounded by state-of-the-art technology in her role as senior vice president and CIO at one of the country's largest health insurance providers. At night and on weekends, she enjoys overseeing the restoration of old houses and automobiles, with an iPod as her only link to contemporary equipment.
"I don't use a lot of modern technology in my restoration work, but I do love to listen to my iPod," she says.
During the workweek, however, McCarthy is more likely to be connected to one of two BlackBerrys or her laptop than a musical device. As CIO at Aetna, based in Hartford, Conn., McCarthy oversees more than 3,000 employees and 1,500 offshore partners. Her team, which works on more than 300 projects a year, is responsible for Aetna's IT architecture, solution delivery, infrastructure, and network services capabilities.
