Shawn Sieg

I am a technology and AI leader with more than two decades of experience helping organizations leverage technology solve business challenges, improve operations, and create exceptional employee experiences. At the University of Michigan, I lead initiatives spanning technology strategy, AI governance and adoption, digital transformation, business process improvement, and enterprise technology operations across University Human Resources.

My work focuses on bridging the gap between people, processes, and technology. I partner with executive leaders, IT organizations, vendors, and stakeholders to evaluate emerging technologies, develop strategic roadmaps, drive organizational change, and implement solutions that deliver measurable value. As an advocate for responsible AI, I help guide the adoption of enterprise AI platforms while ensuring governance, security, accessiblity, and compliance remain at the forefront.

Throughout my career, I have built a reputation as a trusted advisor, connector, and problem solver, someone who enjoys translating complex technology into practical solutions that help people work smarter and more effectively. Whether leading technology modernization efforts, supporting large-scale organizational initiatives, managing vendor relationships, or exploring the future of AI in higher education, I am passionate about using technology to empower others and drive meaningful impact.

My greatest professional satisfaction comes from helping people succeed, building strong relationships, and creating innovative solutions that make a difference for both organizations and the communities they serve.
