About Mike Gemza

Mike Gemza is Chief Technology Officer at Cornerstone Building Brands. Location: Pensacola Metropolitan Area, United States.

I am a senior technology and operations executive with more than 20 years of experience modernizing large, complex, acquisition-driven organizations. My focus is on building security-first, resilient technology operating models that support growth, reduce risk, and improve financial discipline. As CTO at Cornerstone Building Brands, I lead enterprise technology with an emphasis on resilience, security, and disciplined execution. I’ve restructured the operating model, strengthened leadership accountability, and integrated finance, audit, and compliance to improve transparency and control. This approach has delivered multi-million-dollar savings, reduced operational and cybersecurity risk, and improved the consistency of technology and architectural decision-making across the enterprise. I bring an operator’s perspective to advisory and board discussions; grounded in how enterprises actually govern, fund, and scale technology. I am open to board and advisory roles with AI-focused and technology-led companies where sound governance, disciplined execution, and enterprise readiness are essential to long-term value creation.
