Stephen Gold, EVP & CIO, CVS Health and Hunter Muller, President and CEO, HMG Strategy

Plenty has been written about how the CIO’s role is being diminished and/or altered by the Cloud. While we are at an inflection point, the drivers are many and varied and the opportunities and conclusions are different. Stephen Gold, EVP and CIO of CVS Health will share a fresh perspective – one where the CIO does in fact need to re-invent his/herself, but not necessarily (only) in the way the conventional wisdom is suggesting.

EXECUTIVE KEYNOTE: Cutting Through the Noise: Moving Your Security Program and Organization to the Offense

David Mahon, Chief Security Officer, CenturyLink

"There's no escaping the Digital Transformation. Businesses around the world are learning to become more agile, efficient, and innovative. But this transformation does not come without challenges, including an increasingly complex universe of security threats. Now is the time for CIOs to cut through the noise and engineer security initiatives putting organizations on the offense - proactively aligned for such threats as ransomware, phishing, DDoS attacks, and shadow IT.

In this exclusive keynote session, CenturyLink CSO Dave Mahon will emphasize how security executives most work hand-in-hand with senior business leaders and members of the Board. These teams can properly asses value, measure costs and identify the most dangerous risks. Together, they can empower the organization to architect and execute holistic security programs specifically targeted at the digital transformation.

Our session will explore how to:

- Position IT security for the C-suite and Board of Directors

- Engineer effective cyber risk management strategies for the new IT ecosystem

- Seamlessly manage the drive for increased security and compliance regulations"

  • Egon Zehnder

The most fundamental expression of our client-first vision resides in our structure, which is unique to our profession. Our 390 consultants, operating from 63 wholly owned offices in 37 countries, are organized around a single-profit center partnership. This is designed to eliminate competitive barriers between our offices. It allows us to operate seamlessly when engagements call for us to mobilize across many offices in a country or a region. Large or small, local or global, our clients benefit from our structure by having access to our most relevant resources and relationships wherever they may reside. Underpinning this unique structure is our private ownership. We have chosen to operate our firm independent of any outside interests and are motivated solely by a desire to exceed our clients' expectations.
