Podcast Interview with Rick Green, Top CIO Awardee
This is the next blog in the continuing series of interviews with top-echelon and renowned professionals. In this blog, I interview Rick Green, Vice President and Chief Information Officer, CHC Helicopter Corporation--Leading International IT Authority and Senior Executive.
As an invited expert on the judging panel for Canadian Business Magazine All-Star Execs Awards, recognizing the top executives in the country, I have the privilege of seeing the outstanding performance results of sector leaders from all parts of Canada. Rick's valuable insights in this interview demonstrate what it takes to be the best CIO in the country. I'm planning a follow-up interview likely next year.
Enjoy,
