Do you see any disruptive trends on the horizon in your industry or position?

It is less something on the horizon but more a dramatic impact on cost and success - remote consulting support. I find that I have to travel much less to help customers due to the use of tools like Zoom, WebEx. It saves customers money and can compress service delivery timelines. Essentially, 1-2 onsite work sessions early on to ensure the physical limitations and capabilities are fully understood are all that are needed.

Tell me about the most impactful project or decision you’ve been involved in as an executive.

There are several, however, the one I can cite here is when I was the CIO of Coca-Cola Fountain. I was tasked with upgrading the entire IT application environment while at the same time reducing costs. And, I was not given any Capex to do it. I was told that for every $1 of Opex I reduced, I could have 50 cents back to invest in new technology. Through this process, in about 18 months, I reduced the number of apps from 114 to 57, reduced the IT budget from $50 million to $37 million.
