SSI scraps chief information officer role
US— Survey Sampling International (SSI) has scrapped the role of chief information officer, moving incumbent Peter Milla to a consulting role.
Kees de Jong, CEO of the sample supplier, said Milla would continue to provide support to many of the firm’s internal technology projects going forward.
De Jong – appointed chief executive in January – said Milla was “a well respected and highly appreciated officer at SSI” but that the role of CIO did not fit with his vision for the company’s executive team.
“With my appointment as SSI’s CEO comes change,” said de Jong. “I set a new agenda and new priorities to adapt the organisation for the opportunities that the current market offers.
“I want to create a small and effective business-oriented executive team. The role of CIO is not part of that.”
Executive responsibility for the company’s IT development has now passed to chief strategy officer Mark Hardy, de Jong said.

Wonder when they are going to fix their consumer panleist website AND PAY THEIR PANELISTS THE MONEY THEY OWE THEM. There is a HUGE problem with SSI right now regarding their panelists not being able to login to their accounts and/or not being able to claim the money they are owed. Something fishy is going on at SSI and it has been like this for a few months now. They are being very shady and will not answer panelists as to what is going on and why they cannot access their payments. Someone needs to look into this. There are many many BBB reports being made against them and next step is AG.
