In early 2024, we worked with the Corporate Innovation Summit (CIS) team at Collision to pitch and secure a roundtable spot for Aptum CEO Ian Rae at the invite-only Summit with 200+ leaders and innovators at the forefront of tech’s biggest companies.

On June 17, Ian headed up a roundtable discussion at the CIS and shared his hitchhiker’s guide to the cloud.

Ian said, “Cloud computing has been eating the world, and after a phase of breakneck market adoption, we are entering a phase where the quality of that adoption and the operational excellence in driving outcomes will separate the digital businesses that can outperform, and are able to do so sustainably.”

At the panel discussion, Ian talked about how to chart a course through this cloudverse, and innovate with velocity while maintaining control and dealing with challenges such as data gravity, expanded surface area for cybersecurity, and overwhelming complexity. The participants shared their experiences about how to deal with rapid rise in costs and environmental footprint and exchanged ideas around how to find a sustainable and healthy balance in the cloud.

This is StratAmp’s third year in securing a spot for Aptum’s CEO to speak at Collision.
