Bob DeRodes: 2018 Life Time Achievement Award Winner

What an honor it was to have the 2018 Life Time Achievement Award winner, Mr. Bob DeRodes, visit Booth 61 with Ricky Steele at this year’s CIO of the Year event. I was fortunate to meet Bob 10 years ago and I have been learning from him ever since. Listen to this podcast and you too will benefit from this man’s wisdom and insight.

Bob has had a very multifaceted career from banking to the airline industry and from insurance to retail and finally to the Fin/Tech space. Bob not only has a very diverse background but he was able to take lessons from each industry and apply them to other industries with very different business models but similiar technology issues.

In addition to being a successful business executive, Bob has a huge heart and has been instrumental in many not for profit organizations over his career from Habitat for Humanity to United Way and TechBridge. Bob sets an example for others to follow.

Thank you Frank Bell, Lisa LaRoque and Inspire CIO for allowing Booth 61 to once again be part of this wonderful celebration of our industry. Thank you TRC Professional Solutions for being our Sponsor and Channel Partner of Steele Technology Partners.

What a JOY it was for me when my sister, Lisa LaRoque dropped by Booth 61 during the opening reception at the 2015 Techbridge Digital Ball. I first met Lisa at the Thursday morning Bible Study held at Dell SecureWorks. She is one of the people you learn from quickly. She has a magnificent heart and she shares it liberally with all who are fortunate to know her.

There are so many great things happening at the Georgia CIO Leadership Association including the expansion to Boston this June. Lisa shared a lot about the mission and the future of the organization that was originally created by the Founder of Intellinet and my good friend, Frank Bell. If you don’t know about GCLA, visit their website at http://www.georgiacio.org. If you have not attended the CIO of the Year Awards in the past, you definitely want to be at the Cobb Galleria on November 13th this year for this tremendous event.

Although I have only known Lisa LaRoque for about 3 years, she is one of my favorite people. The first time we met was at the Dell SecureWorks Thursday morning Bible Study. Later we met for lunch and I knew we would become life long friends. Lisa became the Executive Director of the Georgia CIO Leadership Association late in 2013 and she is already doing a tremendous job serving our CIO community. I am certain with Lisa’s hard work, this year’s CIO of the Year event will be the most successful to date. Although Lisa has her own association to run and budget to raise through sponsorships, she is active in the United Way and in TechBridge where many of the Host Committee are also members of GCLA. I am grateful that Lisa is part of our community and part of my life. This is a double blessing for sure.

Alan Stukalsky, Lee Crump & Tracy Crump: GCLA CIO of the Year Awards

00:00 /

Booth 61 on 10/02 was a major HOME RUN! My guests were Alan Stukalsky, Managing Director, IT & CIO of Randstad, Lee Crump, Group Vice President & CIO of Rollins and Tracy Crump, Executive Director of the Georgia CIO Leadership Association, (GCLA). It was a real honor for me to host three people I respect and appreciate very much for all they do for Atlanta and Georgia. Lee was the 2012 CIO of the Year in the Global Category and Alan is a finalist for the 2013 CIO of the Year in the Enterprise Category. Tracy is the person who manages GCLA and creates extraordinary programming all year for the CIO members. Tracy is also the person who makes sure the CIO of the Year event is spectacular.

The GCLA CIO of the Year Awards Breakfast will be held on November 1st. This is a MUST ATTEND event. There will be 50+ CIO’s in one room at one time. Nowhere or at no other time will you find this many CIO’s together in Atlanta. In addition to learning about the event on November 1st, you will also learn the history of the Georgia CIO Leadership Association and its founder, Mr. Frank Bell, Chairman & Founder of Intellinet.

This year’s guest speaker is a legend in the technology world, Mr. Tim Campos, CIO of Facebook. Hearing Mr. Campos is more than worth the price of admission and when you add 50+ CIO’s and 900+ technology industry senior leaders, this is a DO NOT MISS event. There are a small and limited number of tables left for the breakfast. When they are gone, they are gone. Don’t wake up on Friday morning, November 1st wishing you had bought a table. Do it now to make sure you and your colleagues are represented at this once in a lifetime gathering. Buy Now: http://www.georgiacio.org/award.html

Needless to say, I am excited about this event. I am also very, very excited to announce Booth 61 will be broadcasting Live from the Cobb Galleria on November 1st.
