MENLO PARK, Calif., Aug. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In the heart of Silicon Valley, technology executives know all too well that companies which fail to disrupt themselves risk extinction. Because the CIO is at the center of the enterprise, she or he is uniquely positioned to identify how technology, people and processes can be unified to create new business models and profitable revenue streams for the future survival of the business. The leadership traits and business acumen required by CIOs to successfully navigate the company into the future will drive the discussion at the 2018 Silicon Valley CIO Executive Leadership Summit, produced by HMG Strategy, to be held on August 30, 2018 at the Rosewood Sand Hill in Menlo Park, CA.
"Today's CIO needs to think creatively and act courageously to lead, reimagine and reinvent the enterprise in ways that can help spark new revenue growth and drive the customer-centric organization," said Hunter Muller, HMG Strategy's President and CEO.
The Silicon Valley CIO Executive Leadership Summit will kick-off with an enthralling panel of top-tier technology executives who will share the 'secret sauce' that seasons a customer-centric culture from the inside out.
Other compelling sessions at the summit will include a panel of venture capitalists who will explore the leadership characteristics required by startup entrepreneurs to succeed; an executive keynote by Zendesk COO Tom Keiser on the evolution of customer experience and the CIO's role in helping the organization to meet customer expectations; an executive panel that will examine how advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, the Internet of Things, and analytics are driving speed to market and a competitive edge; an executive search panel that will probe the key attributes that make some technology executives more successful than others; an executive keynote by ServiceNow Executive Strategist Ron Markham on the factors behind digital transformation initiatives that succeed; an executive panel that will explore effective approaches to balancing agility and innovation with security; and an executive panel of top technology executives who will share the new and dynamic mindset CIOs must employ to lead with courage and drive innovation.
