Guest Quote
“I'm a big fan and a passionate advocate for really looking at platforms and architecture. It's not just how cool a screen looks or what the latest app is on the phone. It's what's the underlying architecture and where are there open architectures where I know I'll be able to integrate and bring in data and the processes across those platforms. Because the best position I can be in for the organization is to know that I have the flexibility to change out parts and pieces as the business changes.”
