Chris Barnes is CTO of Operations and Strategic Services at Howard LLP. Howard LLP is a market leader in providing financial consulting, audit, assurance, tax, and IT consulting services to businesses across multiple industries. Though he didn’t get into computers until the late 1990s, with his first machine being a Zenith, this hasn’t held Chris back from success. He now has extensive experience with networking and bringing resources together.

We’re going to hear Chris talk about the necessity of understanding the values of where you work, leading without fear, and letting go of the decisions of others. Before all of that, Chris tells us about how he broke into the industry when the dot com bubble crashed.
