Thriving on Hypergrowth: Vari CIO Jeff Dinard

The Big Themes:

• Heading back to the office: The pendulum is swinging back in the other direction, and B2B or B2C becoming artificial boundaries.
• That’s part of our DNA: We’re a company that’s built around the notion of flexibility – and we can talk about it from a fan’s perspective.
• The CIO’s role has changed: My role is a leader first, and a businessman second, and a technologist third.
• Maintaining a culture of care: People really want to be here and they deliver excellence. This is not soft and fluffy – this is really the hard stuff.

The Big Quotes:
