Podcasts about Arrow Electronics

Mark Sweeney, senior vice president of mid‑market growth and global commercial strategy at Citrix As of this week, MSPs and resellers working with Citrix may notice their partner relationship looks a little different. On March 1, Citrix officially expanded its long-standing partnership with Arrow Electronics, shifting more of the day-to-day management of its Service Provider partners in North America and Europe to the distributor. The move builds on an existing relationship between the two companies, but goes further — touching partner engagement, transactions, and how partners interact with the Citrix ecosystem overall. For MSPs and resellers, especially in Canada, changes like this tend to raise practical questions. What's actually changing in the partner experience? Why make this move now? What responsibilities remain with Citrix, and which ones move to Arrow? And what does this mean for quoting, renewals, incentives, and support escalation? In this episode of the podcast, we're joined by Mark Sweeney to help unpack the announcement. We talk through what Citrix had already handed over to Arrow, what's new as of March 1, and how the company sees this shift fitting into its broader channel strategy. The conversation also takes a Canada-specific lens, exploring what this transition means for Canadian MSPs and resellers, and what partners should be thinking about as the new model settles in. We wrap with a look ahead at what comes next — and how partners can position themselves to get the most value from the change. Read Full Transcript Hello and welcome to the ChannelBuzz.ca podcast, bringing news and information to the Canadian IT channel for the last 16 years. I’m Robert Dutt, editor of ChannelBuzz.ca, and as always, your host for the show. If you’re an MSP or a reseller working with Citrix, as of this week, your relationship with the vendor may look a little different. Earlier this year, Citrix announced it’s expanding its partnership with distributor Arrow Electronics, handing over more of the day-to-day management of its service provider partners in North America and Europe. That change officially took place March 1st. Citrix and Arrow have already been working together for some time, but this move goes further, affecting things like partner engagement, transactions, incentives, and how partners interact with the Citrix ecosystem overall. For MSPs and resellers here in Canada, it naturally raises questions. What’s actually changing? Why now? What stays with Citrix? What shifts to Arrow? And most importantly, what does it all mean to your day-to-day business? To help unpack all of that, I’m joined by Mark Sweeney from Citrix. Mark’s been deeply involved in the company’s channel strategy and is here to walk us through not just what is changing, but why Citrix believes it’s the right move and how partners can get the most out of the transition. So let’s dive right in. Robert Dutt: Mark, thanks for taking the time. I appreciate it. Mark Sweeney: No, thanks for having me, Robert. Robert Dutt: I guess let’s start with a little bit of context first. You guys have been working with Arrow Electronics for a long time as a distribution partner and more recently, over the past little while, have handed over a little bit more responsibility and management to Arrow. I guess to level set it, can you walk me through before this March 1 announcement, what part of the relationships had already been managed by Arrow and what parts did Citrix still manage or handle directly? Mark Sweeney: Sure. Thanks for that. You’re right. Over the past numerous years, we’ve had a long and outstanding relationship with our friends at Arrow and it historically was a distribution-related arrangement that we had with them. Over the past two years, I would say that that relationship has started to change and evolve into where we see it today. Specifically, I would say it was probably about 18 months ago where we started to extend more of our business over to Arrow. That specific piece was around our CSP business. That was below a certain threshold. The threshold being about 2,000 users. Any of our CSP, MSP partners that were providing services to end users, we actually shifted those over to Arrow about 18 months ago to start supporting that business. The initial approach that we saw was very healthy and very good. One of the things that we wanted to do was actually extend that a little bit further. We looked at some of our mid-market customers and any of our mid-market customers that we didn’t manage with our enterprise team. We started to have Arrow actually manage them from a go-to-market perspective as well. The first idea there was to start to remove friction between the CSP business that was managing the same type of customers that were existing in our mid-market space. That happened probably about 12 months ago. During that period of time, our enterprise team continued to manage enterprise customers and larger MSPs that were above that 2,000 user threshold. If you thought about it and you just drew a line into our business, anyone that was below that 2,000 threshold was probably being managed by Arrow and anyone above was being managed by our enterprise team. Robert Dutt: We look forward to March 1 as that goes live, as that has gone live. What actually changes for a Citrix service provider or MSP partner of yours with this further transition to Arrow? Mark Sweeney: If there were MSP partners that were being managed by named account executives as part of Citrix, those MSP customers are also being moved over to Arrow as of March 1. Now, we’ve already communicated that to them. If not all of the MSPs should have received communication from us and from Arrow on this. I’ve also posted myself on LinkedIn about this. Anyone who was an MSP before, they are now also going to be managed by Arrow. Robert Dutt: Why make the move now? Was this something that partners were asking for? Is it sort of about where you’re at and where you want to take the channel? Mark Sweeney: I like to say, “Why not now?” The reason why I say that is because we saw some very good success with Arrow in our mid-market space and then also in our MSP business. What we also saw was a little bit of friction, as I mentioned earlier, in the smaller CSPs but then also in the mid-market space because we’re selling into the same market. What we wanted to do was we wanted to remove that friction entirely so that all MSPs now could be worked and can be functioning as a single entity that’s being managed by Arrow. What that allows us to do is really begin to focus on our innovation of our technology but then also allow us to give further support to our product development teams or product engineering teams, all of our support teams. I think for us, it wasn’t necessarily that it had to be done on March 1st, but I think it was just more of a natural time for us to do it as it was occurring 12 months after the mid-market space, 18 months after the initial CSP space. That’s why I think now is probably the best time. Robert Dutt: Continue to pull on that thread that you just introduced there. As this transition is complete, in terms of the partner business, where does Citrix stay very hands-on and where does Arrow kind of fully take the wheel? Mark Sweeney: I would say that Arrow is fully taking the wheel on all the business that is mid-market business. Anything where our enterprise account executives aren’t managing the team, they’re going to be there. Any of our service providers, any of our managed service providers, Arrow is taking the full reins too. But we still have a channel team and our channel team is still going to be managed by Kerry Saunders in the US from an enterprise perspective. For the enterprise CSA channel partners out there, they’re still going to be managed. We’re still going to be building this team. We’re still going to be managing that team. I’m working very closely with Kerry and her team. My counterparts on Arrow are actually working very closely with Kerry and her team as well. I’ll also say that I’m fully supporting the Arrow business right now and I have a team that’s supporting the Arrow business as well. We have Citrix representation that is going to be supporting all of our partners across the business. Robert Dutt: Most of our listeners are Canadian MSPs and resellers, folks who’ve been working with you or with Arrow historically. But as this transition happens, what can they expect to feel different in Canada compared to the rest of North America, if anything? Mark Sweeney: This business, what we’re doing is not just happening in North America as well. This is also happening in Europe. I’m based out of London, England, as I’m sure you hear the accent, originally American. I’ve actually spent a couple of years in Canada and in the Mississauga-Etobicoke area when we had our office there. I have had the opportunity to meet a number of your partners and your customers in the region. I don’t think anything is going to change based on geography. Anything that we’re going to see in the US is likely what we’re going to see in Canada. Similar things that we’re going to see in Europe. I would say immediate changes, there really aren’t going to be any. I think a lot of the business that we’ve already worked on with the channel partners in Canada as well as the other regions is going to be an extension. Any of the contracts that you have in place with us, those are being assigned out to the Arrow team. You’re not going to see anything change there. I did have the opportunity to spend a few days with Arrow and their leadership last week in Spain talking about strategies. One thing that it’s not a change, but I would think of it more as an opportunity. There are a lot of technologies that Arrow is exploring outside of Citrix. If I were to give one recommendation to the Canadian team, it is to work with your Arrow counterparts to see what other technologies that they have inside of their portfolio that could potentially play into what you’re doing as an MSP or in the mid-market. Given what they’re doing, there are some areas of synergy in terms of being able to potentially expand the portfolio that some of the managed service providers are actually providing to their customers. Robert Dutt: Along those same lines, what can partners do to make sure this is as smooth a transition as possible for them, to make things as simple as possible? What are you doing to make sure this is as simple a process as possible? This hopefully simplifies things for partners. I don’t think any channel chief ever sets out to make things more complex. Mark Sweeney: Two answers to that. I think the first is what I’m doing. In North America, I’m establishing a team that’s going to be dedicated to supporting the MSP business and our MSP partners, and then also a team that’s going to be supporting our mid-market team too. The reason why I’ve kept them separate is specifically what you just said, to provide this as seamless as possible so that we have subject matter experts on the MSP business and then subject matter experts on the mid-market business. I think that’s probably the first thing. Keep in mind that these are overlays from a Citrix standpoint, so there are going to be direct counterparts for Arrow that will be able to work with your partners in Canada. I think the first thing that I would recommend to any of the MSPs in Canada is to identify who your account executive is going to be from an Arrow standpoint and reach out to that person as quickly as you can. Don’t wait for a renewal to happen. Don’t wait for an expansion need to happen. Really understand what your business looks like today. Understand if you have customers, if you are looking to expand what that looks like, reach out to your account team. In the FAQ that should be shared, you should be able to find it. In North America, there’s a gentleman by the name of John Heller who is available for you to reach. He’s based in the US. Then you’ve also got myself, Mark Sweeney, that you could reach out to if you’re having any challenges identifying who your account executive is. I would say, again, two things just to summarize. I’m building a team to help support. Then from your perspective, just go ahead and reach out to your account executive as quickly as you can. Robert Dutt: Any time a vendor shifts responsibilities like this, I think there’s a natural tendency for partners to worry about support and escalation, those sorts of things, about being a step further away from the vendor in abstraction and potentially worst case scenario becoming that proverbial pop fly that drops harmlessly between two fielders who both presume the other guy’s got the ball. What are you guys doing to make sure that that doesn’t happen? What safeguards are in place? You discussed a little bit having that overlap already, but what else are you doing to make sure partners’ fears around that may be assuaged if they’re out there? Mark Sweeney: Sure. To play on your reference a little bit, because I don’t get to talk about baseball too often and it’s always cricket related, I will say that it’s important for us to call the ball. If I’m in center field and the ball’s coming my way and I’ve got my left fielder over there, I want to make sure I know who has what. I think the first thing we’re doing is creating rules of engagement between our two partners so we understand who’s doing what. From a support perspective, that support is still being handled by Citrix. Anything that’s tier one related or tier two related, you’re still calling or you’re still working into the Citrix support teams. You still have contact information from Citrix support people that you can work with, but from a go-to-market perspective, that’s where you’re going to be working with the Arrow team. I think we’ve drawn very clear lines in terms of who’s doing what. We have our support team that’s being managed, the support still being managed by Citrix. All the go-to-market functions are going to be managed by Arrow. So I think that’s the first thing to keep in mind. The second thing is to think holistically, why are we even doing this? We’re doing this because we want to dedicate more resource to our innovation. We want to dedicate more resource to our supportability of our products. We want to dedicate more of our resource just to the overall adoption and consumption of everything that we’re trying to do from a technology perspective. I understand that and I’ve heard that before and I’ve had conversations with partners and customers on this, but I think when you actually dive into it to say, “Why are we doing it?” I think the answer to that “why” is what should actually make you feel better. The reason why is because we’re trying to invest more in innovation and support engineering and product development and product management. We’re actually seeing quick execution and quick successes from a lot of that as we continue to expand on our technology and our platform and our portfolio. Then again, on the support perspective, we’re still managing that and then the go-to-market functions are going to be managed by Arrow. Robert Dutt: Zooming out a bit from that, how does this Arrow partnership and this new structure fit into the overall picture of where you guys want to take your channel community over the next year or two? Mark Sweeney: I think our channel community is incredibly important to us as a whole. When we look at who our channel partners are, the ones that have been working with us for the past dozen years, they know who we are as an organization. They know what we’ve been doing from a technology perspective. If you look at where we are building our channel program right now, more on Kerry Saunders’ team, a lot of it right now is identifying the partners that are providing value-added services into our product community and into our customer community. I think where I start to think about what’s going to happen in the future is a lot of this is like, what more can we be providing to our customers and how can we do that with our channel? This allows us to help enable our channel even further, start to enable our channel around some of the concepts that we’re thinking specifically around persona-based selling, persona-based consumption. One of the things that we’re working with our consulting teams and our technical teams right now is around the concepts that we really want our customers to think about us as a company that secures the work. The way we do that is by looking at various personas across our customer base. We want our channel partners to really understand that concept and work with customers to identify them as a persona that is focused on the modern worker, somebody who’s using SaaS-based applications on a regular basis, personas that are task-based workers, think about call centers, things like that, knowledge-based workers, maybe somebody that needs more access to more specialized applications. Then you may have power users. I think working with our channel to build that out, build that strategy out so that we could go more wall-to-wall with customers is where I see our business going towards in the next few years. Robert Dutt: Before we wrap up, I’m sure you’ve been talking to a lot of partners about this change as you formulated it and since it was announced and out there, and channel partners are not a notoriously shy bunch in terms of sharing opinions. I’m curious if you had one misconception that you’ve heard from partners or otherwise in the market about this announcement that you’d like to clear up. Mark Sweeney: I haven’t heard a misconception yet. I think that’s a good thing. I did have some conversations with a few of the partners already. For the most part, and I’ll say for the whole part, it’s actually been very positive. I think the piece about removing the friction is one of the critical pieces. I think our channel partners and our managed service providers are very excited about the fact that we’ve removed that friction and we’re allowing that ability to really sell into all of the spaces out there. I’ll double back on one of the points that you raised and it’s that point of what’s going to happen. Is there going to be any miss or any like missing the fly ball? I think that’s not a misconception I’ve heard yet. That’s a misconception I heard last year. That’s probably still out there a little bit. I mean, you’ve asked the question and I think where I want your partners in Canada to think about is we have done this for a specific reason and that specific reason is because we saw significant growth in the relationship in the business over the past 18 months. We saw that also give us the ability to really focus on our innovation and our technology and our support and product management capabilities. The reason why we’re extending it is because we’ve seen success early on and we want to continue that success and we want to build on that momentum. I would say that’s probably, even though I haven’t heard something yet, that would be the reason why I think it could be out there. Robert Dutt: Mark, I appreciate your taking the time. Good luck on this transition and look forward to seeing how the relationship evolves. Mark Sweeney: That’s great. Thanks very much for your time, Robert.

Today is Monday, March 2, 2026. Welcome to In Case You Missed It, our weekly five-minute rundown of important channel news stories that might have flown under the radar last week. In this edition: Component shortages start hitting the channel: Rising memory and storage costs are prompting vendors to revisit pricing and deal protections, highlighted by a letter from Cisco to partners and reinforced by warnings from other vendors, distributors, and suppliers as availability tightens across servers, storage, and PCs. Pure Storage rebrands as Everpure: Pure Storage has rebranded to Everpure, signaling a shift toward AI-ready data management and rolling out partner program changes aimed at supporting subscription services and platform-led growth. WatchGuard targets MSPs with enterprise-grade security: WatchGuard says new platform enhancements allow MSPs to deliver enterprise-level security outcomes — including zero trust, MDR, and unified management — without enterprise-level complexity. AWS threat research highlights AI-driven attacks: New findings from Amazon Web Services show attackers using AI-assisted techniques to accelerate exploitation of perimeter devices, including firewalls, underscoring how rapidly the threat landscape is evolving. Read Full Transcript Hello and welcome to In Case You Missed It from ChannelBuzz.ca, your Monday morning recap where we catch you up on some of the channel news and trend headlines you may have missed in the last week. I’m Robert Dutt, editor of ChannelBuzz.ca. Today is Monday, March 2, 2026. Let’s get your week started right. This week, the IT channel is being forced to confront an uncomfortable reality. Global components shortages and memory price spikes are fundamentally reshaping how hardware deals are negotiated and fulfilled, and vendors are already updating partner policies as they try to cope. At the center of the storm is a note from Cisco Systems to partners, which was obtained by CRN, in which Cisco says it’ll adjust partner contract terms in response to rapidly rising memory costs and supply volatility. The company now reserves the right to cancel compute orders up to 45 days prior to shipment and to adjust pricing between order and shipment date if component costs, tariffs, or other external factors shift dramatically. That’s a significant departure from the traditional price protection norms. And this isn’t isolated. Executives from major distributors told CRN that memory and storage shortages, particularly DRAM and SSDs, are pushing prices up and tightening supplies across servers, storage, and PC portfolios. Memory prices are reported to have doubled year over year in early 2026, and are expected to continue rising, leading many distributors to shorten their own validities and revisit backlog pricing with vendors. Vendors themselves are directly advising partners of pricing shifts too. Lenovo has warned partners that select PC and server products will see price hikes in March unless orders are placed and shipped promptly, reflecting those costs. And hardware availability is also tightening in real terms. For example, Western Digital says its entire 2026 hard drive production capacity is already spoken for, with most allocations locked up in long-term agreements with hyperscale cloud and AI customers, a trend that could push prices higher and leave less inventory for channel projects. As memory, storage, and other components become harder to source and pricier to procure, partners may face shortened quote windows, less pricing certainty, and project timing risk, compelling MSPs and VARs to rethink their own quoting strategies, accelerate their sales cycles, and build supply chain agility into their roadmaps. Good luck out there. Also worth noting, Everpure, the company formerly known as Pure Storage, has completed a major strategic evolution, rebranding itself to signal a transition from traditional storage vendor to a broader AI-ready data management platform and announcing changes that partners should really pay attention to. The name change, which takes effect on the New York Stock Exchange March 5, reflects the company’s push into enterprise data orchestration and intelligence beyond simply shipping storage hardware and arrays. Central to this transformation is Everpure’s planned acquisition of data intelligence firm 1touch, a move designed to bring automated data discovery, classification, and semantic enrichment capabilities into its portfolio. This expands the enterprise data cloud vision, equipping enterprises to make data inherently AI-ready and more valuable across hybrid environments. Alongside that rebrand, Everpure has updated its partner engagement model with a new tiering structure that gives MSPs, resellers, and distributors clearer pathways to profitability and growth, reflecting the broader mission of the company going forward. Recent results show that the demand for data management and subscription services are driving double-digit growth, the company says, underscoring why partners should lean into Everpure’s evolving platform play. For channel pros, the message is that Everpure sees partners as critical to selling data-centric solutions in the AI era and is aligning its incentives and program structure accordingly. Up next, WatchGuard is positioning its latest platform updates as a way for MSPs to deliver what it calls enterprise-grade security to small and mid-sized customers, without the complexity typically associated with large enterprise tools. The company says the enhancements are focused on unifying endpoint, network, identity, and MDR capabilities into a single manageable platform designed for service providers. Key to the message is simplification. WatchGuard is emphasizing centralized management, automated threat response, and bundled security services that allow MSPs to deploy advanced protection like zero-trust network access, AI-driven threat detection, and 24/7 monitoring at scale and under predictable pricing models. For MSPs, the pitch is that this closes a long-standing gap, giving smaller customers access to security capabilities that more rival enterprise deployments, while still fitting MSP operational and margin requirements. WatchGuard argues that as threats become more sophisticated, the ability to offer enterprise-grade outcomes without enterprise-grade overhead is becoming a baseline expectation rather than a premium add-on. And speaking of more sophisticated threats to bring this week’s roundup home, new threat research from Amazon Web Services adding to the evidence that AI is actively changing how attacks are carried out, not just how they’re defended against. AWS researchers report seeing threat actors use AI-assisted techniques to more quickly identify and exploit vulnerabilities in perimeter devices, including Fortinet FortiGate firewalls, reducing the time between disclosure and real-world exploitation. The finding reinforces a growing concern for solution providers. Attackers are using AI to scale reconnaissance, speed up exploit development, and adapt attacks faster than traditional defenses expect. For MSPs and VARs, the implication is clear. Staying ahead now requires faster patching cycles, continuous monitoring, and security platforms that assume AI-accelerated threats are the norm and not an edge case. Those are some of the things we were paying attention to last week. This week on the podcast, expect to hear how Citrix is thinking of partners as it hands off more of its channel management to Arrow Electronics, a look at the role of identity in taming shadow AI, and how startup Lexful is aiming to redefine how MSPs think about documentation. I’m Robert Dutt for ChannelBuzz.ca. Have a great week!

Sterile processing departments are dealing with persistent operational pressures. Surgical case volumes are rising, instruments are more complex, and staffing shortages remain across many health systems. Accuracy and documentation requirements continue to tighten, leaving little room for error. In busy hospitals, sterile processing teams may handle 10,000 to 30,000 surgical instruments per day, with performance tightly linked to patient risk given the persistent burden of surgical site infections in inpatient care. These conditions are shaping how hospitals evaluate AI in sterile processing as a practical way to support frontline teams without adding disruption or risk.As health systems reassess where technology can provide real operational support, what does effective adoption look like inside day-to-day SPD workflows?In Part 1 of this two-part ConCensis podcast series by Censis Technologies, host Daniel Litwin sits down with Chief Technology Officer Harshil Goradia and Senior Director of Product Development Seamus Johnson for a grounded, practical discussion on how AI is being applied in sterile processing today. The conversation centers on where AI delivers measurable value in SPD workflows, why some use cases succeed while others fall short, and how technology can reinforce technician performance without disrupting established processes.Key points :AI is most valuable where traditional software breaks down: Rule-based tools struggle with visual, variable, real-world conditions such as lighting, positioning, and tray variability. AI in sterile processing, particularly computer vision, can interpret this complexity without hard-coding every possible scenario.Consistency is the core challenge across SPD workflows: Decontamination, assembly, and sterilization remain the highest-risk steps. Volume growth, case complexity, and staffing strain increase the likelihood of errors, making consistency a primary focus for AI in sterile processing initiatives.Final check use cases can have an outsized impact: In customer environments referenced in the episode, missing integrators dropped from dozens per month to zero after implementation. These results show how targeted AI in sterile processing applications can improve accuracy while strengthening documentation and accountability.Harshil Goradia is a technology executive specializing in AI, SaaS, and large-scale digital transformation across healthcare and enterprise software.

Sam Schmidt is the Co-Owner of Arrow McLaren SP, an Indycar racing team comprised of two determined racing entities, McLaren Racing and Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports. That ambition is shared and supported by title partner Arrow Electronics. Sam grew up working on race cars and in 1997 embarked on his racing career as an Indycar driver. Two years later he took his first win in Las Vegas and finished 5th in the 1999 championship. In January of the following year, during off-season testing at Walt Disney World Speedway in Orlando, Sam suffered a massive crash. After being airlifted to a nearby hospital he was later diagnosed as a quadriplegic due to a severe injury on the C-3 and C-4 levels of his spinal cord. Despite no longer being able to race himself, Sam showed immense courage as within 14 months of the accident he had created the Conquer Paralysis Now Foundation as well as Sam Schmidt Motorsports, now Arrow McLaren SP. Mike and Sam cover a ton of great stuff in this episode:how his father inspired his incredible work ethic, the life-changing crash and self-described “hell-on-earth” experience of being on a ventilator and his transition off of it, his no-excuses approach to being a quadriplegic and his high expectations for people with spinal cords injuries, how Arrow Electronics team of engineers created a control system in his car so he could drive a car around Indianapolis Speedway at 150 mph, racing his Arrow Electronics C7 Corvette up legendary and dangerous Pikes Peak, his plans for voice activation controls in his new Arrow Electronics SAM C8 Corvette, how he believes that type of control system and technology can be embedded in industrial applications to help disabled people get back to work, and how the Conquer Paralysis Now Foundation is changing outcomes of people with spinal cord injuries, and much more. Learn more about Sam Schmidt at: https://arrowmclarensp.com https://twitter.com/samschmidtcpn https://www.instagram.com/sam.schmidt_ https://www.conquerparalysisnow.org If you like this episode and want to be the first to know when new ones are released?

In today's episode, Tommy talks with Sameer Sait, Founder of Balkan ID, a cybersecurity startup. Sameer's expertise in information security and privacy runs deep. Prior to starting Balkan ID, he held information security leadership roles in large companies, including Amazon-Whole Foods Market, Forcepoint, Arrow Electronics, and MassMutual. Having had such a prolific career, Sameer now aims to help more organizations and companies identify gaps and create steadfast cybersecurity solutions with his startup.  Sameer talks with Tommy about the importance of cybersecurity and privacy and the secrets to attracting angel investors. “A lot of us work from home. A lot of us work remotely. A lot of us work internationally. What is my new perimeter? How do I defend my network when I don't have a perimeter anymore? Your perimeter is your identity. It's your access. That's where this idea became much bigger.” - Sameer Sait Main Takeaways  If you want to grow as a cybersecurity leader, constantly study the way that tech and cyber-attacks evolve, learn from experts, and be articulate—explain technical operations to executives in a way they can understand. Many security issues that happen in the business operations of companies can be traced back to their built-in tech system. The information security head must commit to completing all transactions with customers in a secure manner. You can defend your company from cyber attacks when you know how to utilize the available data. Information about a user's behavior during their access to your platform and systems can dictate your company's risk level. Follow Amazon's leadership principle: customer obsession. Success can only happen if the customers are satisfied with the service they get and their identities are well-protected.

It is about more than just asking for money. (And who are you actually asking money from? Hint: It is not the Board). How does risk measurement change in the beginning of the CISO's journey vs. later when the program is more mature? What is the goal of good risk metrics? What is the role of cyber insurance in all this? What about business traction and cooperation with other department's goals and objectives? And finally, how does measuring risk affect disposition or risk? Key Takeaways: 01:20 Sammer's bio 02:30 Asking for money - it's not from the Board 05:58 Measuring risk: inside-out vs. outside-in 11:20 Approaching management with an objective, not a story 12:38 Working with your team, as a team 14:12 The effects of measuring risk 18:36Analyzing the priorities and their consequences 24:36 Good governance vs. good management 26:22 Transference, remediation, and acceptance 30:57 What surprise Sameer in cybersecurity?

This episode features an interview with Mark Settle, seven-time CIO and author.Mark has served as CIO for companies like Okta, Arrow Electronics, and Visa.  He specializes in enterprise software, high-tech distribution, and financial services.  His most recent book, "Truth from the Valley, a Practical Primer on IT Management for the Next Decade," was released in 2020.  On this episode, Mark discusses the challenges of personalizing the employee experience at larger companies, streamlining IT operations at the service desk, and automating busy work.  He also shares tips on how to tell if initiatives are being effective, how to avoid the IT-ticket circus, and the importance of trying out new digital tools.3 TakeawaysThe larger and more dispersed a company is, the harder it becomes to create a personalized employee experience and communicate across time zones, cultures, and languages.Onboarding employees successfully and seamlessly is critical to ensuring workers trust the IT organization.If you have a personal interaction with an employee in a support capacity, look for some way to add value to the conversation.Key Quotes“We developed this process we called zero-day provisioning, ZDP. If we got a feed of employees coming on board, even at close-of-business, and even if they were remote workers, we would have a complete kit for them at their home or in their new office location first thing. So they could be processed and it was all pre-configured.  New employees would explicitly comment on what a great onboarding experience it was.”“You're the technology quartermaster for the army, and you're just trying to give everybody the kit that they need, both at a generic level and then at a more functional level that's responsive to the needs of individual departments and work teams.”“A company can have a nirvana-type set of IT-enabled experiences, but it also needs to meet employee expectations around pay, benefits, commuting times, satisfaction with a boss, relationships with coworkers and more to make a happy employee."This episode of Cruising Altitude is brought to you by SocialChorus. SocialChorus is the creator of FirstUp, the platform that makes the digital employee experience work for every worker. FirstUp brings personalized information and systems access to every employee, everywhere.No matter whether they're wired, distributed, or on the front line.

Today's episode is a Simply Tech LIVE interview recorded October 29th, of 2020 - pulled out of the vault to serve to you at this very relevant time - produced by my co-host, Ali Mazaheri, and featuring special guests Ross Valentine, and guest co-host Greg Vigil.Ross Valentine is the Director of Product Services at Arrow Electronics (the world's largest electronics distributor), and has spent the last 20 years studying the global supply chain from a perspective across different industry verticals and organizations.Greg Vigil, Industry Solutions Director for the US, will be co-hosting the Manufacturing mini-series, bringing more than 10 years of manufacturing industry experience to highlight trends in market, and to bring the most modern perspectives of how the world's largest manufacturers are approaching emerging business challenges.This is going to be a really fun listen for those looking to better understand how the supply chain has been evolving over the past 20 years, the different roles that technology and talent play in the supply chain ecosystem, and the trends and business models that are declining or EMERGING as the world moves faster, better, and becomes just a little smaller each day. Key Takeaways:[08:53] Ross' 20 years experience working on supply chain and its evolution over the years[10:00] Supply chain security and how it has evolved from deep impacts across global events ranging from 911, to the Great Recession, to a global pandemic.[14:16] The shift of the supply chain as a business strategy – moving from a cost of doing business, to a competitive advantage[16:41] Observations of the consumer and business in the supply chain ecosystem, and relationships as the core competency[19:01] NASA and the reverse logistics of getting man BACK from the moon – how this compares to real world supply chain challenges[26:52] Data sharing and how technologies like Blockchain, RPA, robotics, digital twins, and AI advisors, will shape the future of the supply chain [28:17] New business models and everything as a service[30:31] Zooming out and looking at supply chain as a supply web Memorable Quotes: [15:37] “It is critical that we move from historic supply chains which are prone to disruption and breakages. That can't go on as we move to the next 20 years here. We need to build resilience. We need to look at new things. We need to look at flexibility, sustainability. It plays such an important role not just to the planet but also in how you live and operate in the future as well. It is absolutely essential that supply chains continue to evolve. We should look at the order of the supply web.”[18:44] (Sending a man to the moon relating the supply chain) “The bigger part of the problem was not getting man to the moon, it was how do we get the man back to planet Earth. So there is this entire reverse process that no one thought of. We celebrated getting there and the team getting there, but there was an incredible effort with NASA and all the different agencies to make sure that there was a reverse logistics process and they got back safely. Think about the supply chain in exactly the same way.”[20:53] “Technology is not here to replace people, it's here to improve people, to improve decision making” Resources: Connect with Ross on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ross-valentine-210b6b35/ Personal Website: https://supplyweb.org/Email: ross@supplyweb.orghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suez_Canalhttps://fortune.com/2020/05/18/toilet-paper-sales-surge-shortage-coronavirus-pandemic-supply-chain-cpg-panic-buying/https://fortune.com/2020/05/18/toilet-paper-sales-surge-shortage-coronavirus-pandemic-supply-chain-cpg-panic-buying/https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/29/suez-canal-is-moving-but-the-supply-chain-impact-could-last-months.htmlhttps://www.arrow.com/ *The views and opinions expressed in this discussion are those of the guests and do not necessarily reflect the official position of their employer, Microsoft" ____ Thank you for listening! -------------------------------- Join the **New Monthly Newsletter** - Data Binge REFRESH: https://www.derekwesleyrussell.com/newsletter Interested in starting your own podcast?
