CIO Insights: Duquesne Light, Orrick, Battelle, Kroger

CIO Insights Series: Sizzlin’ Summer of CIOs #3

It’s summertime and we’re still at home, so the Pittsburgh Technology Council has organized a series of CIO Insights to help you connect, learn, and inspire you to think about the role of information technology in the future.

There is no question that 2020 has been a challenging year. Companies have had to pivot like never before. We are all learning, changing, and growing. 

During these CIO Insights panel discussions, we’ll hear from regional IT executives about what they have learned over the past few months, where they will be investing in the future, and what they need from the technology community to help their organizations grow.
 

PANELISTS
- Mark Miko, Vice President, Information Technology and Chief Information Officer, Duquesne Light (Pittsburgh)
- Craig Dean, Chief Information Officer, Orrick (Wheeling, WV)
- David L. White, Vice President, Chief Information Officer, Battelle (Columbus)

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This event is for anyone who wants an inside peek into the world of IT, including CIOs, CISOs, IT staff, business development professionals, university students, and educators.

Technology Companies will gain an insight into these leading organizations, their IT structure, and priorities in the wake of COVID-19 to give us insight into IT trends and investment areas in the next year.

IT Leaders and Staff will be provided with a benchmarking opportunity to learn about how each of these organizations have pivoted the IT strategy in the wake of COVID-19 and how they are planning for the future.
