I am thrilled and energized by the success of our 2022 Detroit CIO Executive Leadership Summit yesterday, co-produced with SIM Detroit. The theme for the in-person event was Leading Boldly and Authentically – Inspiring Trust and Winning in the Global Digital Economy and we assembled a truly world-class roster of rock-star speakers, presenters and panelists. Kudos and congratulations to all involved!
