BLOOMINGTON, IN – August 26, 2026 – AOTMP®, a membership organization for technology management professionals backed by an industry-leading certification body, today announced the addition of three new business members to its Industry Leadership Committee (ILC): Jackie Hallmark of Just Energy, Matt Kelley of DIRECTV, and Dawn LaRosa of TravelCenters of America.

Hallmark serves as Manager, IT Cyber and Information Security at Just Energy. Kelley is Director, Business Operations Enterprise Telecom at DIRECTV. LaRosa is Supervisor, Telecommunications at TravelCenters of America.

The AOTMP Industry Leadership Committee is an elite group of Advisory Council Platinum business members and Industry Leader vendors working together to shape, promote, and advance the future of technology management. Through collaboration, the committee drives innovation, addresses emerging challenges, identifies opportunities, and helps raise standards across the technology management profession.

“We are pleased to welcome Jackie, Matt, and Dawn to the Industry Leadership Committee,” said Timothy C. Colwell, co-chair of the AOTMP ILC. “Their perspectives and experience will strengthen the committee’s ability to advance meaningful dialogue and practical progress for organizations responsible for managing technology, vendors, costs, and operational performance.”

ILC members meet six times annually to examine industry developments, share lessons learned, and define next steps that help organizations address challenges and capitalize on opportunities. The committee’s work supports AOTMP’s broader mission to equip technology-management professionals and their organizations with the knowledge, practices, and leadership needed to achieve stronger business outcomes.

“Industry progress requires leaders who are willing to collaborate beyond their individual organizations,” said Tim Lybrook, co-chair of the AOTMP ILC. “Jackie, Matt, and Dawn join a distinguished community of business and vendor leaders committed to elevating the profession and helping define what excellent technology management looks like.”

The addition of Hallmark, Kelley, and LaRosa expands the ILC’s collective expertise and reinforces AOTMP’s commitment to bringing together influential leaders who can help set a higher standard for technology management, innovation, and operational excellence.

About Bearstone

Bearstone is a telecom vendor governance firm founded by Bill Henrichs, Former Head of Telecommunications at Simon Property Group. Managing telecom for a 200+ site portfolio, Bill saw what most CIOs learn: invoices routinely carry unauthorized charges — services billed after disconnect, rates outside contracted terms — that no one is validating line by line. He built Bearstone to close that gap.

Bearstone delivers BearGuard — a managed governance service that validates invoices against contracted terms, surfaces unauthorized charges and variance, and holds carriers accountable for correction. Where TEM platforms stop at reporting, BearGuard begins.

Headquartered in Noblesville, Indiana, Bearstone serves multi-site enterprises — retail, hospitality, and distribution — with 200+ locations or $2M+ in annual telecom spend.
