Carter Busse on the Life of a Start Up and Scale CIO

Please join us on Thursday, May 9^th for our May AIM Lunch meeting. Our May meeting features Carter Busse. Carter has been the start-up and scale-up CIO for three successful technology companies (including Salesforce) and is involved with two others that will eventually go public. Carter is expert in building teams, improving delivery and selecting technologies and technology providers.

At our meeting Carter will talk about:

• The story of his career (3 successful IPO’s with two more on the way)
• His thoughts on the trend towards democratization of IT and the framework that supports it
• How he has and is using AI
• The role of successful IT leaders in leading the organization’s go-to-market motions
• How to leverage vendors to create IT leader peer networks for IT leaders and their staffs
• How to build successful relationships with venture capital networks and use these to stay current on innovation

I have spent a decent amount of time with Carter and he is engaging, humble and a pleasure to be with.
