Your Chief Technology / Information Officer |
Paradoxes I enjoy managing:
- Radically innovate while optimizing operations. - Complete in sprints while delivering long-term value. - Integrate external partners while operating as a single entity. - Recognize that providing immediate digital value plays a large role in sales but that more value is delivered over time. - Provide technologically enabled offerings while focusing on value, not technology. |
