TAKEAWAYS

There's still a significant divide between business strategy and digital strategy — leaders on both sides of the aisle need to further harmonize their understand and efforts.

Especially since COVID, education and employment shifts are changing what it means to be "qualified" in a technology-focused job.

CyberVista is working to upend traditional measures for gauging a person's skills — moving from static to dynamic.

Being a mother has helped Simone lead with empathy, honor the human condition, and see life as much more than achieving professional goals.

Digital leaders are primed to help steer organizations going forward as they work to weave technology capabilities into the heart of customer experience and business strategy.
