“When you add business understanding with technology understanding, that makes a deadly combination where you can serve and help move the needle for your business.”

“The reality is we get sold all the time, every day. When you show up as a practitioner, as a peer, and you're ready to talk about the good, the bad, the ugly, there's a lot of power.”

“ Good news is bad news being delivered early. It's so important to be able to create a healthy environment where you can talk about those risks.”
