Description

the CIO Project: Confessions; Real Talk; Real Tech with real CIOs, CTOs and CISOs from around the globe.

Hi, I'm Howie Lyke and I have had the privilege of engaging in IT leadership strategy work with IT leaders for the better part of my close to 40 year IT career. Today I have the privilege of teaming up with my friend and colleague of over 25 years: SVP, CTO & CIO of the Boston Red Sox, and the National Chair of InspireCIO... Brian Shield.

Join Brian and I as we sit down, beverage in hand, with IT Industry leaders from around the globe and riff on what's happening in the industry, who's working on what, challenges, confessions, strategy and great stories.
