Subject: CIO Denise Russell Fleming’s transformational leadership journey

Insights from a storied career

When Denise Russell Fleming joined me for the 100th episode of my “Whisperers” interview series, we unpacked her leadership playbook with a particular focus on the key role trust plays in leading at enterprise scale, especially when the stakes are high.


As a testament to Denise’s stellar reputation in the industry, nine executives raised their hands to provide “mystery questions” for the podcast. Since we weren’t able to get to all of the questions they provided during the show, she took time afterwards to tackle some of their additional questions about her career journey, lessons learned, and advice for current and emerging CIOs. Head over to my CIO Whisperers column for a wealth of additional insights from Denise’s leadership playbook.

Coming Up Wed., April 8


My next Whisperers Wednesday guest is CIO Sanjay Shringarpure, who leads global IT operations and drives strategic digital transformation initiatives at The Freeman Company. 


Over his two decades of technology leadership experience, Sanjay has built a strong track record of leading major digital transformation projects by drawing on his ability to foster collaboration while delivering innovative solutions. Join us on April 8 as we explore his myriad leadership superpowers and a take a deep dive into the intangibles of leadership.
