Mark is an award-winning CIO, a change agent who has led organizations in creating innovative solutions to some of the toughest business challenges around. Known for formulating and articulating powerful visions and using them to drive change in complex, matrixed, and sometimes rigid and bureaucratic environments.

He has also published three other books on IT leadership and IT-business alignment: A Seat at the Table: IT Leadership in the Age of Agility, War and Peace and IT: Business Leadership, Technology, and Success in the Digital Age, and The (Delicate) Art of Bureaucracy: Digital Transformation with the Monkey, the Razor, and the Sumo Wrestler.
