Speaker

Cole Cioran, Managing Partner, Canadian Public Sector

I grew up in a cabin in the woods without running water or electricity. That might seem like an unlikely start for a career in information technology, but we all had to start from somewhere. For me the journey began in 1980 when we got the first home computer in the county. I wrote:

10 PRINT HELLO WORLD!

RUN

HELLO WORLD!

And I was hooked. I knew I wanted to build great applications that would delight their users. I did that over and over. Along the way I also discovered that it takes great teams to deliver great applications. Technology only solves problems when people, processes, and organizations change as well. This helped me go from writing software to advising some of the largest organizations in the world on how to how to build a digital delivery umbrella of Product, Agile, and DevOps and create exceptional products and services powered by technology.

Today I am fortunate enough to lead Info-Tech’s Canadian Public Sector Global Services team, which advises IT executives in provincial and municipal government on how to revolutionize the delivery of digital services to our fellow Canadians.
