What are the keys to successful digital transformation? 

Find out at the 5th annual NYC CDO Summit, where IBM Chief Digital Officer, Bob Lord, delivers the opening keynote on “Three Keys for Digital Transformation: Mindset, Architecture, and People.”

In this engaging keynote session, Bob will discuss the how people, architecture, and a winning mindset are the key factors to any successful transformation. 

Winning is a mindset that leads to action, and results in an outcome. How can a 100+ year old company reinvent themselves and win in the digital world? The newly formed Digital Business Group, led by IBM’s first-ever Chief Digital Officer, Bob Lord, is leading the company’s digital transformation. The group delivers superior end-to-end digital experiences by building and designing world class platforms, and equipping developers with the tools and educational resources they need to succeed.

Bob is the co-author of the book “Converge: Transforming Businesses at the Intersection of Marketing and Technology,” which discusses how technology, media, and creativity are uniting and how this shift is revolutionizing marketing and business strategy.

From 2015-2016, Bob was President of AOL, and CEO of AOL Platforms from 2013-2015. Prior to AOL, Bob was Global CEO of Razorfish; CEO of Publicis Groupe’s Digital Technologies division; and CEO of VivaKi Interactive. Bob holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BS in Engineering from Syracuse University.
