Latha, Christina and I look forward to working collaboratively with our colleagues around the globe and around the clock to ensure that our technology is second to none.” Related content feature 10 digital transformation questions every CIO must answer Impactful DX requires a business-centric approach supported by the right skills, culture, and strategy.
