The CIO’s value in the rebounding private equity market appears to be increasing, as investors see IT as an enabler of new revenue and as a driver of cost efficiencies. Several CIOs and other IT leaders in private equity (PE) environments say they see a trend toward the position being elevated, both with investors and at the portfolio companies they fund. PE investors have begun to realize they can achieve better returns with strong and empowered CIOs at portfolio companies, says John Buccola, CTO of E78 Partners, a managed services provider focused on the private equity market. The past pract...

Early in his career, Andrew Brock was told by a mentor that, to reach the C-suite, you have to take assignments across the various drivers of a P&L: marketing, operations, information technology, and so on. At the time, Brock had held finance-related roles of increasing responsibility at household brands such as Kraft and PepsiCo at the time, and the advice piqued in Brock a curiosity that has since marked his career. It led him to accumulate cross-functional experiences that eventually landed him at Associa, which, serving 7.5 million homeowners globally, is the world’s largest residential pr...

For CIOs seeking new sources of innovation and support in a rapidly globalizing commercial scene, regions that used to be too remote are now going toe to toe with the more established dominant players. The days when the US, Europe, and other countries like India, Japan, and Israel were the only countries of choice are fading. What we see today are cities, conurbations, countries, and regions everywhere bidding to make their own Silicon Valley-style hubs, manufacturing nexuses, services operations centers, and development factories. And one example that has vaulting tech ambitions is Vietnam. T...

Los directores de sistemas de información (CIO, en sus siglas en inglés) y los directores de sistemas de seguridad (CISO) operan en entornos muy estresantes que, en ocasiones, pueden provocar una tensión adicional en su relación, alejándoles de la consecución de resultados óptimos. En mi propia carrera, he sido CIO y CISO, así que tengo experiencia de primera mano con este tema desde ambas perspectivas. Calmar la situación para que la relación sea viable, saludable y respetuosa para ambas partes puede ser un reto, especialmente para los CISO, que a menudo dependen del CIO. Requiere comprender ...

By David Linthicum In its latest The State of Cloud Cost in 2024 report, CloudZero illuminates the serious implications of cloud cost management and its effect on business stability and job security. The conclusions are interesting. CloudZero’s survey, which drew insights from 1,000 finance and engineering professionals, underscored a crucial element in cloud cost management: the pivotal role of engineering teams. These are not just the “nerds” who operate the technology but key players who can significantly influence cost outcomes. According to the survey, 81% of respondents indicated that cl...

By Sascha Brodsky Microsoft on Tuesday announced the hiring of Mustafa Suleyman, a former co-founder of DeepMind, the AI startup acquired by Google in 2014. Suleyman will assume the role of executive vice president and CEO of Microsoft AI, directly reporting to CEO Satya Nadella. During Suleyman’s time at Google, DeepMind established itself as a frontrunner in AI research; it also caught the eye of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who moved to counteract Google's growth by founding the nonprofit AI lab, OpenAI. “Microsoft has been strongly signaling that they consider AI to be a core strategy,” said Casey...

By Evan Schuman Esty Scheiner was especially frustrated, even for the CEO of an AI startup. Her team had figured out a better way to deliver deepfake audio detection and met with various IT groups at key enterprises. Most agreed this is going to be an issue that needs to be dealt with — and could use Scheiner’s software. But since the deepfake problem is months, maybe a year away, Scheiner's company couldn’t get the backing to do anything about it. Therein lies an IT problem I've seen in just about every vertical. It would be easier to accept if IT pros were routinely caught offguard by opport...

By Nick Hodges I’ve never been a big fan of annual performance reviews. Frankly, I think they ought to be utterly unnecessary. No one enjoys the process. I’m at a loss why a company would spend all those person-hours on a process that no one really wants. Any competent manager should be meeting regularly with all of her direct reports, and should make sure that each employee knows clearly where they stand and how they are performing. Continuous and timely feedback is vastly superior to annual reviews. If a manager provides continuous and timely feedback, then the performance review process sho...
