The secrets behind his leading-edge digital innovation work

I was so inspired by my conversation with CarMax Chief Information & Technology Officer Shamim Mohammad, who’s the latest guest on my CIO Whisperers podcast. One of Forbes’ 2021 “CIO Next” Innovators and a 2020 Capital CIO of the Year ORBIE Award winner, Shamim has led his company through significant digital transformation in recent years. He shares the leadership stories behind his IT organization’s leading-edge digital innovation work.

After we wrapped the show, Shamim delved a little deeper into his leadership experience and explained how the shift from a project to a product organization has empowered his team to be more experimental, customer-focused, and innovative.

Next Week on the Podcast

Tune in next Wednesday, November 17, for my conversation with Mary Gendron, SVP and CIO at Qualcomm. Over the course of her impressive career as a transformational leader, Mary has led complex global organizations and driven business strategies that have consistently generated customer, shareholder, and employee value.


She’s also the kind of leader who encourages the tough questions, welcomes the challenging discussions, and is continually motivated by the opportunity to make a difference. This is another powerful episode, filled with stories of leadership courage, culture-building, perseverance, and insights that you will not want to miss!
