Graeme Thompson (LinkedIn, Twitter) grew up and first started his career in Scotland. When he moved to the U.S., he noticed a lot of differences in the mindset when it came to IT, but he also found a way to blend the practicality of those in the UK with the entrepreneurial spirit of American workers. Now, as the SVP and CIO of Informatica, he is using all of his knowledge and skills to bring real-time tech solutions to customers around the globe.  

In this episode, he discusses what IT looks like at Informatica —including how IT has changed and where it’s going — plus he breaks down the need for real-time hybrid data management and some of the problems and solutions Informatica is seeing in that area of IT.
