Ken Athanasiou
VP, CISO

As technology continues to be the primary driver of business capability, CIOs have stopped being looked to as simply providers of internal technical support. IT executives must modernize the enterprise to move to value-based, iterative approaches to technology implementation and utilization while also driving cultural change. This session explores:
- Enterprise platform strategy vs. siloed, single-purpose technology stack
- How do CIOs align IT investments to business top priorities?
- How does IT make smarter decisions with real-time analytics across the entire IT value chain?
Executive boardrooms are intimate and interactive sessions designed to foster dynamic dialogue around a specific, strategic topic. These private, closed-door discussions encourage attendee participation and are limited to 15 attendees (seating priority is given to CISOs executives). To reserve your seat, please contact John Seabury at 971-222-2369 or John.Seabury@evanta.com.
