Many CXOs at large enterprises took an early bet on Bipul Sinha's and Arvind Nithrakashyap's vision to secure the world's data. We - at Greylock - are grateful for your support of Rubrik, and countless other Greylock-backed AI and cybersecurity startups.

Chris Gates reposted thisChris Gates reposted thisBusiness technology leaders who have made an indelible impact on the industry and on the organizations they have served have gained a mountain of invaluable experience that they’re able to share with fellow executives and up-and-coming leaders. This includes lessons learned in working with the CEO and the Board, the leadership skills that have served them well as well as recommendations for mentoring employees and fostering a collaborative culture. The closing panel at today's 15th Annual Dallas C-Level Technology Leadership Summit focused on industry greats, and lessons they have learned across the course of their careers, advice for planning the next stage of an executive’s journey (e.g.; Board position, Private Equity role, Advisory Member role, Give-back, etc.) along with predictions on what the future state of IT will look like. #AdvisoryServices #CELA #PersonalBranding #CareerAscent #CIO #CDO #CISO #CTO #CIOLeadership #CIOSummits

Chris Gates shared thisChris Gates shared thisThis week Wells Fargo released our annual Sustainability and Governance Report, highlighting the work we're doing to build a sustainable and inclusive future in the communities we serve. Some of the highlights include: - In 2022, our Renewable Energy & Environmental Financing team deployed $2.7B of tax equity capital for renewable power and storage projects—a lifetime investment of $15.9B. This includes continued development of battery storage technology & deployment, which is critical to advancing clean energy adoption. - We're supporting the acceleration and adoption of clean technologies through the Wells Fargo Innovation Incubator (IN^2) program, a $50M collaboration between WF and the U.S. Department of Renewable Energy Laboratory. Companies involved in IN^2 have raised more than $1.6B in external funding and combined for 197% employment growth. - Through a $2.85M grant from the WF Foundation, the Institute for Sustainable Communities created a national cohort across 10 U.S. cities to develop resilience hubs – weather resilient, solar powered community centers that serve as gathering places for community members, as cooling centers in the summer and heat shelters in the winter in historically marginalized communities. - Our environmental footprint is being minimized through the consolidation of real estate assets, including a new LEED certified, state-of-the-art campus in Dallas, TX that makes use of solar panels, storm water reclamation, native landscaping, EV charging stations and other methods of supporting sustainable workplace practices. In May, I accepted an award on behalf of Wells Fargo from SustainableIT.org for our efforts to stand up new, environmentally sustainable data centers. Thank you to Tali Bray for leading the sustainability work across WF Technology and Darryl Schumaker for being CTO’s Data Center Sustainability leader. The efforts to drive long-term sustainable technology practices and documenting them as part of these performance metrics demonstrate our commitment to not only our customers’ futures but the futures of the next generation of customers and the communities where they'll live and work. #BankOnTech #WellsFargo #sustainability #ESG #greentech https://lnkd.in/eekNAg2n

Technology is the foundation of Mastercard. Every day, our teams operate the infrastructure that powers 175 billion transactions across 210 countries and territories each year — seamlessly, securely, reliably. As we scale, how we build matters. And building with environmental sustainability in mind is more critical than ever. It strengthens resilience, performance, and long‑term value. I’m proud of the practical action our teams are taking, the results we’re driving to decouple growth from emissions, and the way we’re sharing our best practices to advance the industry.

Claims leakage isn’t always fraud. Sometimes it’s something quieter — and more expensive. In this episode of #AnEarfulwithErrol – The 90 Day Outcome”, Errol Rodericks, Director of Product Marketing at Denodo, shares a powerful story from the #insurance industry. The problem? Not adjuster capability. Not broken processes. It was visibility. Claims data. Policy systems. Underwriting signals. Third-party validation. All existing. All valuable. All disconnected at the moment decisions were made. So instead of launching a multi-year transformation… The insurer chose a different path: Reuse instead of rebuild. ✔ No system rip-and-replace ✔ No workflow disruption ✔ No massive migration Just a unified, governed “Claims Intelligence” #DataProduct — delivered in real time, directly into adjuster workflows. The result in 90 days? • Earlier identification of high-risk claims • Fewer post-settlement investigations • Near real-time leakage monitoring • Faster cycle times • Measurable reduction in leakage exposure 🎥 Watch the story and discover how insurers are transforming claims intelligence 👉 https://okt.to/sACvom #90DayOutcome #ClaimsManagement #DataStrategy #BusinessOutcomes #DataforALL

Failure: Your Unexpected Accelerator on the Path to Success It might sound counterintuitive, but often, failure makes us faster. We're often conditioned to fear failure, viewing it as a roadblock or a definitive end. But what if we reframed it? What if we saw each misstep, every stumble, as a data point, a crucial lesson that propels us forward with greater speed and clarity? Think about it. Every time something doesn't go as planned, we gain invaluable insights. We learn what doesn't work, identify blind spots we didn't know we had, and are forced to adapt our approach. This iterative process of trying, failing, learning, and adjusting is the very essence of accelerated growth. Failure strips away assumptions and forces us to confront reality. It builds resilience, sharpens our problem-solving skills, and ultimately makes us more agile and effective. The lessons learned in the Kosha (School) of failure are often the ones that stick with us the longest and contribute most significantly to our future successes. Embracing failure isn't about being reckless; it's about being brave enough to try, intelligent enough to learn, and resilient enough to keep moving. So, let's not dread failure, but rather, learn to leverage it. It might just be the fastest way to get to where you want to be. #failure #learning #growthmindset #resilience #innovation #success #careerdevelopment #professionalgrowth

Modernization doesn’t have to mean starting over. At the #DXCConnect Insurance Executive Forum in Charleston, I’ll focus on how Assure Architecture is designed to help insurers move forward without a full system overhaul in the breakout session “The Assure roadmap: Architecting the bridge from heritage to modernization.” We’ll walk through @DXCTechnology Insurance Software & BPS's Protect, Extend, Transform strategy and how it supports agility, performance and security across complex environments. We’ll also cover the technical ecosystem behind this approach, including the modernization toolkit, Assure Smart Apps and Platform Integration Edition (PIE), and how these components work together to bridge heritage systems with what’s next. Looking forward to the discussion around practical modernization and the architectural choices that make it possible. #WeAreDXC #DigitalTransformation #InsuranceTechnology #Modernization Ray August Bryce Mohlenhoff Daniel Stanovich Alessandra Cox Mark Broadhurst Patrick M.
