Truth Telling with 7X CIO Mark Settle

There are some Tech Whisperers who leave a legacy by investing their skills in just one or two companies across their career, and then there are those who leave their legacy by making their mark on several organizations throughout their career. As a whopping seven-time CIO and a three-time winner of the CIO100 Award, Mark Settle is a standout example of the latter. 

During his CIO journey, Mark somehow also made the time to publish two must-read books, Truth from the Valley, A Practical Primer on IT Management for the Next Decade and Truth from the Trenches: A Practical Guide to the Art of IT Management.

As an expert truth teller, startup adviser, and advisory board member, Mark has mastered the art of helping teams and businesses cut through the fluff to focus on what matters most. In this episode, he’s sharing some of his secret sauce with us.
