Operating I.T. Like a CEO

For the last few years, there’s been so much talk about “running IT like a business” that you couldn’t hide from that catch-phrase, even in the deepest, darkest server room. But how has this concept evolved, not only over the years, but as a result of today’s tumultuous economic climate where there’s no such thing as “business as usual.”

Please join SIM In The Suburbs and Catherine S. Brune, senior vice president and chief information officer for Allstate Insurance Company. Brune will share her experiences and trigger a compelling discussion of ideas that address the tough issues IT leaders face today in running their business, engaging their employees, and focusing on the things that matter most.

Brune is responsible for enterprise-wide technology strategy, network infrastructure, enterprise applications, and technology-related governance, security, and compliance activities. She is also responsible for all aspects of Allstate Protection technology, including architecture, thought leadership on technology trends, selection and adoption of appropriate technology products and services, and development and maintenance of innovative and effective technology solutions.

We look forward to seeing you on April 7th.
