Episode 09 - Ben Davis and the Importance of Digital Transformation

Today’s guest on State of the CIO is Ben Davis, EVP/Chief Digital Officer at Cambria. Ben began his career over 25 years ago and in that time he’s been Operations Executive for multiple “born in the cloud” based businesses and has delivered data and content systems to customers on 6 continents. ​

According to Ben there is a cliche that there are three types of business: those about to start their digital transformation, those going through a digital transformation and those going out of business. And while Cambria is part way through its digital transformation, Ben has come to realize that in order for a company to transform digitally, while you are reliant on technology, you are more reliant on the people in the company itself. 

It is insights like this that make this episode unmissable as Ben shows us behind the curtain of his company and divulges the secrets of how Cambria is so successful.
