John McKinley is Chief Technology Officer of America Online, Inc. and President of AOL Technologies.

In this position, he serves as AOL's chief technology strategist and directs the company's technological agenda as it moves aggressively in areas such as broadband, wireless, and premium services. In addition to technology strategy, McKinley oversees teams in charge of product engineering, network infrastructure, data centers, and internal business systems and computing.

McKinley is one of the business world's most respected technology leaders with an intuitive understanding for how new and existing technologies can improve the daily lives of AOL members.

While at Merrill Lynch, McKinley dramatically reduced systems and infrastructure costs, consolidated a legacy portfolio of more than 2,500 systems into a reduced number of strategic platforms, upgraded the management team, and led the company's post-9/11 technology recovery efforts. He joined Merrill Lynch as Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer in 1998.
