Subject: Mojgan Lefebvre on building IT leaders for an AI-driven future

How CIOs can create the foundation and leadership balance necessary for IT to thrive

“As a leader, I don’t view ambiguity as something that I want to eliminate; I view it as something to manage thoughtfully.” That’s a mindset Mojgan Lefebvre says she developed early in life, and it’s stayed with her throughout her career, helping her, her teams, and her organizations go fast and far.


Mojgan’s leadership style is grounded in three attributes that increasingly define top-tier CIOs: ambition, adaptability, and accountability. In this follow-up article for my CIO Whisperers column, she discusses how those qualities were forged early on, how they guide her decision-making today, and how they shape her approach to preparing people to thrive in an AI-driven future. Read on for more valuable tips from Mojgan on leading with resilience, clarity, confidence, and heart.

Coming Up Wed., March 18


My next Whisperers Wednesday guest is Denise Russell Fleming, who leads all aspects of IT systems and processes, cybersecurity, the enterprise program management office, and global shared service centers for BD, one of the largest pure-play medical technology companies in the world. Denise is also a co-founder and board member of the nonprofit TechPACT, which has been the recipient of several TechLX scholarships from previous podcast guests.


Prior to BD, Denise was Boeing’s vice president of IT and CIO of Boeing Defense, Space & Security. Fittingly, our very first podcast episode, under the CIO Whisperers banner, featured Boeing Global Services CEO Ted Colbert. Denise’s episode marks the milestone of 100 episodes of candid conversations with the world’s most successful technology executives. Tune in on Wednesday, March 18th as she opens up her leadership playbook and shares insights and experiences from her award-winning career in global leadership, IT, business transformation, and technology solutions.
