Modernizing the Enterprise: Aligning Cloud, Infrastructure, and Leadership Strategy
Thursday, August 6th | 6:00 PM ET
 

Cloud strategy and IT leadership are colliding — and most enterprises aren't ready.

Ivan Rodin, Associate Vice President at AECOM, joins TechTalk Summits to unpack what it actually takes to modernize the enterprise without breaking it. With over 25 years leading large-scale digital and AI-powered transformations across government, data center, commercial, and infrastructure projects, Rodin brings a rare vantage point: the intersection of strategy, data, advanced analytics, and emerging technology. He's also a guest lecturer in Columbia University's Master of Engineering program and a leader on AECOM's AI Advisory Board — shaping how AI gets deployed at scale before it becomes industry practice.

In his session, "Modernizing the Enterprise: Aligning Cloud, Infrastructure, and Leadership Strategy," Rodin breaks down:

  • Strengthening collaboration between executives, technology leaders, and technical teams
  • Balancing emerging technologies with existing infrastructure while managing cost, risk, and disruption
  • Improving scalability, resilience, security, and operational efficiency across multiple environments
  • Aligning Cloud, DevOps, and infrastructure modernization with broader business objectives

This is a working session for leaders who need cloud and infrastructure strategy to actually hold up under real organizational pressure — not theory, not vendor pitches.

TechTalk Summits remains the #1 event for short-format executive tech content — an intimate setting with direct access to speakers like Rodin, real conversations instead of panel small talk, and premium dining that turns those conversations into lasting business relationships. 

Seats are limited by design, and sessions like this one tend to fill early. Secure your spot now.
