The Savvy CIO

by Park Place Technologies

Every CIO right now is being asked to do more with less: modernize the stack, secure the perimeter, embrace AI…and still somehow come in under budget. The Savvy CIO is a podcast for business leaders who are living that tension - not the ones writing thought-leadership posts on LinkedIn about it. Brought to you by Park Place Technologies, this is the show that trades buzzwords for real talk; cost versus control, innovation versus risk, cloud versus local…the tradeoffs that IT leaders navigate every single day, told by people who have actually been through them. Join host and former CIO himself Bradd Busick as he sits down for frank, honest conversations that any CIO worth their salt needs to be having. Because the savviest CIOs aren’t chasing every trend - they’re figuring out which ones are actually worth the budget.
