It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the passing of one our esteemed colleagues, Len Fehskens, who passed away earlier this week.
Len passed away on Tuesday, August 29 with his family at home following a brief hospital stay. He worked for The Association of Enterprise Architecture (AEA) as Chief Editor of The Journal of Enterprise Architecture (JEA). Prior to that, Len worked for The Open Group as VP of Skills and Capabilities. September would have been his 10-year anniversary at the organizations.
Len had an incredible drive to improve the quality of the work we call Enterprise Architecture and to lift it to the status of a profession. As the Editor of The Journal, he elevated it to its pre-eminent status in the industry.
During his tenure at The Open Group, Len helped shape the Open CA certification, which leads the way in EA Certification globally. Len was highly respected by everyone who was in the business of Enterprise Architecture and for very good reason. His passing is a loss to Enterprise Architecture in general and to the continued evolution of it as a profession in particular.
Please join us in remembering Len – a dear colleague and friend who will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Share your stories about Len with the community on the Tribute to Len Fehskens Blog. We would love to hear any tidbits you have to share...
