Mike McCarron is a partner at PwC, where he helps C-suite executives in a range of industries drive transformation across all aspects of business operations through IT strategy and governance. Mike has spent his career advising and supporting leaders as they navigate technology, investments, and operations. Prior to PwC, he was a CIO at Bain Capital, GE Capital, and Fidelity, among other companies.
In today's episode of Tech Talks Daily, Mike discusses why so
many CIOs struggle to make an impact (and turnover in the role is
so high). He also reveals why so many companies treat technology
simply as a series of risks to be managed, not as a key lever of
corporate strategy.
We also explore why corporate boards should create tech
subcommittees, and he reveals the two years in the military (when
he was in his early 20s) that taught him more about leadership than
any other experience.
