Quotes

“CIOs should obsess about this every day: how do we make sure that our employees and company are able to do their job better? … So one of the things that I really obsess about is self-serve and automation. How do I create self-serve models through automation so that if you're a salesperson, he or she is able to get things done in a self-serve model and they don't have to ask for it on a regular basis?” - Sanjay Macwan, CIO and CISO at Vonage

“From a retention standpoint, an employee that feels empowered and has the ability to make decisions and impact strategy is typically one that you keep for a very long time and feels very satisfied. They feel like they actually own something.” - Harry Temkin, CIO at DriveWealth
