"It isn’t easy to describe what IT does within a company. The easiest way to describe it might be through Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. At its core, there is foundational stuff we have to do for all of us (keep the lights on). And then, as you go up the hierarchy, you need to ‘secure the business’ – with cyber designed and built into the foundation. At the top of the hierarchy is digital transformation. How do we build and contribute to new business and drive top-line growth?" Source
“Innovation is vital for us as a community. We need to support and embrace innovation. The key for entrepreneurs, especially in the enterprise space, is understanding and empathizing with customer’s needs and how their product helps deliver the business outcomes Source
“The role of technology is to help deliver those experiences that make it simpler and automated, and so this is just a natural progression … at the end of the day, you want to provide a seamless employee user engagement and provide the right tools so [they] can be successful in doing their role.” Source
