Grateful for the opportunity to speak with Computerworld’s Lucas Mearian again, this time about the very real risks of rushing GenAI into the enterprise.
Spoiler alert: Overpromising and underplanning lead to...
Budget blowouts
Broken promises
Frustrated teams
What’s missing?
Clear business use cases
Solid data foundations
Change-ready culture
Proud to share space with a range of thoughtful tech leaders who are helping steer GenAI away from hype and toward results.

AI is transforming more than just operations, it's redefining what IT leadership is worth.
In 2024:
CTO median compensation jumped 31%, hitting $2.4M
CIO base salaries rose 20–30%
Highest-paid execs came from Wells Fargo, Visa, Costco, and Lineage
IT leaders are now expected to drive innovation, talent strategy, cyber resilience, and vendor ecosystems, all while aligning to board-level business outcomes.
Gone are the days of IT as a cost center. Today's CIOs and CTOs are strategic heavyweights, and their compensation reflects it.
Is your org compensating IT leadership in line with their true strategic value?

Audit letters are landing.
Broadcom is now sending letters to VMware perpetual license holders, initiating audits to verify usage and encourage subscription conversion.
What this means:
・Perpetual licenses are no longer “safe”
・Customers face legal & financial exposure
・Trust erosion continues post-acquisition
・Many are now reconsidering their vendor strategy
This isn’t just about VMware — it’s a broader wake-up call for IT leaders relying on legacy license agreements.
How are you preparing for potential audits like this?
Would you rethink your vendor alignment under these terms?

My name is Matt Stewart and I like SciFi, RV travel, cooking, my family, and Memes.
I'm a former Infosec GRC wonk but am now a Department Director and CIO.
I like posts about leadership in IT and Business, #DigitalTransformation (whatever that means), interesting science stuff, space, RV travel, Photography, civics in the U.S., and even religion. Also obscure military stories (think, AngryStaffOfficer) and Revolutionary war spies.
