#NoMatterWhat x Information Technology
The right technology keynote speaker can make or break your next information technology event. Entrepreneur, technology keynote speaker, former software executive and leadership expert, Sterling Hawkins has what it takes to create breakthrough results coming out of your event, #NoMatterWhat the circumstances are.
Sterling has been part of founding, growing or investing in information technology companies since he founded and sold his first in 2005. He has gone on to work with many leaders in the information technology space including Intel, SAP, Samsung, Cloudera, Zebra, Corcentric, Reflexis and many others – to embrace and use disruptions happening in their market to transform them and unlock opportunities around what’s next.
Information Technology is not, and never has been, an easy industry to be in. Today’s IT companies face labor challenges, changing workplace conditions, unprecedented consumer demand and the constant threat of tech disruption from a competitor inside (or outside) the industry. If not addressed, these unknowns can leave leaders subject to unconscious responses of ungrounded risk aversion, fighting change and worse, only trying to survive.
Having operated software companies himself and advising some of the largest in the world – Information Technology Keynote Speaker, Sterling Hawkins has the inside track on what it takes to change, adjust and ultimately grow in the face of anything that’s ahead. It was only after dealing with massive unknown himself, subsequent to his first company becoming part of a multi-billion dollar startup that went bankrupt, that he was able to come back to be part of growing over 50 others. Leveraging a lifetime working in and around information technology, Sterling will leverage potent stories, compelling case studies and moving anecdotes to leave your audience with the ability to handle anything this all-too-uncertain world throws at them next, #NoMatterWhat.
