Cleveland- and New York-based IPA 100 firm CBIZ (FY24 net revenue of $2.94 billion) has elevated Peter Scavuzzo to senior vice president, chief information and technology officer, effective May 1.
Scavuzzo will continue to serve as president of CBIZ Technology and will oversee a unified technology organization, integrating enterprise IT, client-facing technology solutions and the firm’s business transformation and innovation team. He succeeds John Fleischer, who is retiring after 12 years with the firm.
In his expanded role, Scavuzzo will align technology investments with business goals, focusing on enterprise transformation, innovation and AI initiatives. The firm said the integrated leadership structure is designed to enhance execution, improve client outcomes and support long-term growth.
“Technology—particularly AI—is an increasingly important driver of how we deliver value to our clients,” said Jerry Grisko, president and CEO of CBIZ Inc. “By bringing enterprise IT and Business Transformation and Innovation together under Peter’s leadership, we are advancing Technology, Data and AI as an enterprise-wide capability. This will enable us to deliver greater insights and value to our clients supporting long-term revenue growth while driving efficiency.”
“On behalf of the entire CBIZ team, I thank John for his exceptional leadership and numerous contributions,” said Grisko. “He developed a robust, service-focused IT organization, enhanced our infrastructure and cybersecurity and supported our business’ growth and integration over the years. We appreciate his invaluable contributions and wish him all the best in retirement.”
“I’m honored to lead our newly unified technology function and continue building on the strong foundation that John and our teams have established,” said Scavuzzo. “Technology is essential for all functions at CBIZ and for our clients. By integrating leadership of enterprise IT with CBIZ Technology, we will better align investments with strategic goals, enhance resilience and security, accelerate delivery, and ensure that the business—and our clients—remain at the center of every decision.”
Scavuzzo joined the firm in 2024 following its acquisition of Marcum LLP, where he served as chief information and digital officer and CEO of Marcum Technology. He brings more than 25 years of experience in technology, transformation and innovation.
