Thoughtworks believes that openly sharing knowledge empowers change. And tapping into the real-world experiences of technology executives can inspire the next generation to do the same and much more.
Sponsored by Thoughtworks, the HITEC Transform.ed Series provides insights into successful digital transformation through the lens of C-level executives. Brands spanning various industries participate in fireside chat interviews to share invaluable learnings and insights.
