Speaker

Jerry Frazier

SAM Program Director , Toyota Motor North America

I’ve spent over 25 years at Toyota Motor North America, where I’ve worn many hats—far beyond my current title of Director, Software and Hardware Asset Management. I specialize in Software Asset Management (SAM) and Hardware Asset Management (HAM) governance, with extensive leadership experience across the full ITAM spectrum, including vendor licensing, lifecycle management, procurement, and strategic sourcing.

I have led the national implementation of SAM and HAM programs, developed audit defense strategies, directed ServiceNow platform governance (SAM Pro, CMDB, Discovery), and collaborated closely with Procurement, Legal, InfoSec, and Finance teams to align ITAM operations with business goals. Throughout my career, I have focused on optimizing asset visibility, strengthening compliance and audit readiness, and improving operational efficiency through practical, scalable ITAM governance frameworks.

The Pop in Your Job
’m passionate about helping organizations work smarter, more efficiently, and in ways that align with their broader goals of innovation, sustainability, and risk management. I believe in continuous improvement, strong cross-functional partnerships, and delivering real, measurable value.
