Abstract :
Joseph Williams interviews Jim DuBois, CIO of Microsoft. Jim DuBois´ CIO role at Microsoft is unique in ways many tech professionals don´t think about. Sure, he´s responsible for applications, infrastructure, and solutions. Yes, he leads the company´s information risk management and manages processes that keep the lights on for more than 127,000 employees in more than 110 countries. And of course he manages an IT organization with several thousand people and rather complex relationships with suppliers that are often key Microsoft customers and partners. All of this is important stuff.
