Hosted by Kathryn Guarini · business · EN
Lead with IT is a podcast about how technology shapes strategy, accelerates growth, and creates competitive advantage in every industry, at every scale. Hosted by Kathryn Guarini — technology executive, board director, educator, and PhD scientist — each episode features real conversations with leaders and innovators exploring what it means to put technology at the center of how organizations think, decide, and grow. Topics span the full journey: elevating technology into strategy, building trust by design, and making tech fluency a leadership imperative. The stories are specific, the takeaways are practical, and the perspective is clear: organizations that lead with IT set the pace. Those that don’t, fall behind. Don’t just use IT. Lead with IT.
