Summary: This week I’m joined by Mark Settle who is the Chief Information Officer for Okta. Mark has served as CIO for a number of companies prior to his role at Okta including IHS, BMC, Corporate Express, Arrow and Oxy. Mark is also author of the book ‘Truth from the trenches: A practical guide to the art of IT management.’ During our conversation, Mark outlines the value of IT in today’s enterprise and how IT can generate value through seismic changes. Mark outlines the challenges that many CIOs gets caught up in and how they can escape the vortex. We discuss the role of the CIO and get Mark’s very interesting and enlightening perspective on ‘data as the new oil’. Mark outlines his perspective on how technology orgs lose sight of the problem and how they can realign themselves.
