This Tech Forum focuses on career paths, managing techniques, and unconventional transitions for technologists in the entrepreneurial space. This panel covers the following topics (plus more!):

• Making the leap from CIO/CTO to CEO/COO
• Taking on a bigger role while transitioning from large company to entrepreneurial start-up
• Building skills to manage and advocate for your staff to a non-technical board or C-level team

We invite anyone interested in a technology-based career to join us for a lively, practical discussion on the sometimes unconventional career paths of those who have made these transitions, with a moderator who knows what companies are looking for.
