Ep. 19: Vincent Shorter, CIO and Retired Army LTC, Mission First Leadership, Trust, and Ownership

Vincent Shorter joins host Cesar Jimenez to share how lessons from his twenty-two-year military career shaped his success as a corporate technology leader. After retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army, Vincent transitioned into corporate America, rising from Director of Infrastructure to CIO across several global organizations. He discusses how military decision-making, accountability, and leadership principles apply in business and why understanding the business is just as important as understanding the technology. Vincent also breaks down one of the most overlooked truths about career growth: performance alone is not enough. Success, he says, depends on your PIE, which stands for Performance, Image, and Exposure.
