Director of Information Technology

You have to acknowledge that you have an identity, that you have a perspective that you are bringing to the table; and if you are not dealing with the biases that come out of that, then you are complicit in the adverse outcomes.

Ashby was raised in Knoxville, Tennessee where he also attended The University of Tennessee for his undergraduate degree. He worked there for a time as an admissions data specialist before he and his wife made their way to the Saint Louis area where Ashby pursued a graduate degree at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Later, he found his way to the WashU Brown School via a friend who was working on a research project there. He has spent the last 12 years with the Brown School, starting in the research center before moving on to administrative and user support for admin systems, and finally into an IT role which became the Director of IT for the Brown School.

Ashby views diversity, equity, and inclusion as an ongoing process that requires deliberate action and daily commitment to self-awareness and introspection. He believes that his perspective alone is not enough and optimal inclusion and the best services for IT consumers is produced by gathering a plethora of unique voices in a space of collaboration.

We need to take a cognitive approach to recognize that biases exist and be very intentional about how we navigate around them.

Bernard’s parents came to the St. Louis area in the early 1950s to escape the limited opportunities for people of color in the deep south. They then reached back to bring other siblings from that small southern town, resulting in a large family currently in St. Louis. Bernard grew up in North St. Louis, the youngest of five. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at Northwest Missouri State and has been married for 25 years with one son.

Bernard started at WashU in 1990 and transitioned into the IT organization in 1996, where he has had various roles, including many leadership positions. Over the course of time, with mentors in place and learning from the successes of others throughout the organization, he has come to view himself as a situational leader. He leads according to the circumstances put in place, being sensitive to the past experiences of those involved.
