Adam Zeitsiff: How Going Through Hard Experiences Shapes Your Future | CEO, Intelivideo

Adam Zeitsiff President and CEO, Intelivideo

Technology is changing faster than ever and every industry is undergoing its own digital transformation.

Even just 10 years ago, for the most part, tech used to be considered a cost center. Which meant it was in a silo and was not seen as an innovation arm.

Given the increasing pace of change in a digital world, especially post-pandemic, most businesses have to and must shift their focus to viewing technology as a core, strategic pillar.

One of the gaps this leaves is having leaders and management that can view strategy from both a business and a technology lens. In other words, how we can leverage technology to drive revenues.

If you’re looking for the foundations of thinking like a tech-first leader, then this episode is for you.
