2023 is coming to a close. I’ve had a difficult year and won’t be able to share details for a while, but I’ve had several close friends and colleagues to support me. Many of them join my weekly Coffee with Digital Trailblazers and contribute on stage to our discussion on digital transformation leadership.

This week, I’d like to introduce you to my good friend, Tyler Johnson, a co-founder and CTO of PrivOps. Tyler is a true Digital Trailblazer, showing both breadth and depth of technology architecture, infrastructure, data, and security skills. Tyler is an expert on data fabrics and security, and his patents underpin the platform he developed at PrivOps.

Tyler is my third guest on the Driving Digital Standup to share his top Digital Trailblazer Leadership Competencies. He joins CIO Martin Davis and Investor/Board Advisor Joe Puglisi, who shared their attributes in previous episodes.

Tyler shares his view on the top Digital Trailblazer’s Competencies and Attributes from an entrepreneur and architect’s perspective. He shares inspirations from Clayton Christensen, Jeff Bezos, Henry Ford, Benoit Mandelbrot, and others. He explains why it’s so important for Digital Trailblazers to share their visions, have an agile mindset, show empathy, simplify to pattern-based solutions, and engage in lifelong learning activities.

Thank you, Tyler, for a great episode filled with inspirational stories and meaningful insights. Please watch the episode and Happy Holidays.
