Elsasser was selected from nearly 500 nominees who were measured
against Computerworld's IT Leadership Index, a set of
characteristics that describes executives who guide the effective
use of IT in their organizations, and evaluated by the editors and
by an external panel of outside judges. "A number of challenges
ranging from business continuity to security and outsourcing have
redefined the traditional IT executive's role," said Don Tennant,
editor in chief, Computerworld. "What's most unique to the 2006
classes, however, has been their ability to remain flexible as the
role of the IT executive evolves and changes." "We're working hard
at The Timken Company to focus all of our resources around
delivering unparalleled value and innovation for the customer,"
said Elsasser. "The IT function is an integral part of that
mission, using a dynamic combination of services, projects and
consulting to fuel the ongoing transformation of the company. I am
pleased to accept this recognition on behalf of the whole Timken IT
team, and we look forward to building on our efforts to deliver the
technology resources Timken needs to drive new growth and success
across our businesses." Elsasser, who joined Timken in 1978, was
named to his current position in 2003. He has held a number of
management positions of increasing responsibility across his 27
years with company. Following a succession of senior leadership
roles in Latin American and Europe, Elsasser returned to Canton in
1997 as group vice president in charge of rail bearings for Europe,
Africa and West Asia. He was named senior vice president -
corporate development in 2000 and senior vice president -
e-business & corporate planning in 2003. Elsasser graduated Phi
Beta Kappa with a bachelor's degree in economics from The College
of William and Mary and from Harvard University with a master's
degree in business administration. At Harvard, he was named a Baker
Scholar, a distinction awarded to the top 5 percent of each
