“Digital Transformers” is designed to educate and inform the marketplace on the

immediate value of digitalization. We accomplish that by highlighting companies

and executives that are leading global industries into the digital future. The

standard program is 30-45 minutes.

Aristotle said it best: the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. And nowhere is that truer than in supply chain, which now enjoys the global spotlight for reasons less than desirable. But not to fear! In this episode, Kevin L. Jackson is bringing in the experts -- Thulium CEO Tamara McCleary and Tompkins Ventures Founder Jim Tompkins -- to examine the current state of the supply chain, the promise of AI for handling disruption, the critical importance of communication (along with plans B, C, &D) and more.

Some barriers are harder to break than others – at least until the right person comes along. Vernice “Flygirl” had to fight to get into the Marine Corps, but once she got in, she was determined to rise to the top and seize every opportunity.

Vernice is a retired United States Marine Corps Officer and holds the distinction of being the first black female combat pilot in the U.S. military. She is also a bestselling author, an in-demand keynote speaker, a successful coach and entrepreneur, and served two tours of duty in Iraq.

Veteran Voices co-hosts Scott Luton and Kevin L. Jackson, host of Digital Transformers, were thrilled to have the opportunity to interview Vernice about:

• Overcoming the fear of following your passion through conventional thinking and artificial barriers

• Why providing people with access to information and exposure to ideas can be a solution and a “gutsy move”

• Her key for successful networking – which involved asking people how she could be of service instead of asking what they did for a living

But how can you make sure your implementation goes smoothly? Who should be involved in the selection process for cloud service providers?

Hear their expert views on all these questions and more -- and get practical advice for getting started on deriving real business value from convergence solutions.
