World-class tech executives gathered recently to share their amazing insight, experience, and vision on the future state of business and describe their roadmap for creating a culture of genius to drive growth and innovation across the modern enterprise. The high-value HMG Strategy 2018 Global Innovation Summit was held on February 21 at the legendary Rosewood Sand Hill in Menlo Park, the heart of Silicon Valley's culture and mindset.
The all-star roster of high-energy speakers and panelists at the Global Innovation Summit included Salim Ali, CEO at Loyakk; Tim Campos, former CIO of Facebook; Norm Fjeldheim, Senior Vice President, Chief Information Officer; Head of Global Facilities, Illumina; Michael Golz, SVP & CIO Americas at SAP; Mark Moore, COO and Co-Founder at Inxeption; Wendy Pfeiffer, CIO at Nutanix; Sheila Rohra, CTO and Chief of Staff to the CEO at NetApp; Eric Yuan, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Zoom; and Jedidiah Yueh, Founder and Executive Chairman at Delphix.
These and other technology leaders painted a vision for what's needed for the modern enterprise to accelerate their innovation strategies.
For instance, Gaurav Dhillon, Chairman and CEO, Snaplogic, warned attendees that "the structure for corporate boards is fatally flawed in driving innovation strategies" and that "a board-level committee should be in place" to drive these efforts.
