Building on experiences inside and outside of IT with Bryan Muehlberger – CIOitk #15

Summary: This week I’m joined by Bryan Muehlberger who is the Chief Information Officer for Beachbody. In our discussion, Bryan discusses how his career took a step outside of IT. He discusses the value that brought as CIO along with the challenges it presented and how he overcame them. Bryan outlines how the role of the CIO is the most well-positioned to be CEO yet most CIOs are not well positioned to be CEO. He discusses how to differentiate the role of the CIO considering the consumerization of technology and how this creates one of the biggest challenges for the CIO. As we finish up the discussion, Bryan discusses how traditional methods will lead the CIO to failure and the guiding principles that lead Bryan to success.
