CIO in Education5 years ago

I continue to work on business relationships and resourcing strategic initiatives. I feel that this is the right space in which the CIO should be spending their time.

CTO in Healthcare and Biotech5 years ago

Right now, I spend a lot of my time ensuring code quality. We’ve had issues with problems and delays due to the code not working as it should be, so I have to jump into the code and see if the functionalities are working or not. What I SHOULD be spending more time on is with innovation, R&D, and with my CEO. So right now it's the opposite, because we have a very tight timeline.
