Chris Morace's insights shed light on the Future of Work and the Consumerization of IT.

Morace has spent the last 20 years of his career helping large enterprises implement the digital technologies that revolutionize the way we work and communicate. Leading Jive Software’s product strategy and, subsequently, serving as Chief Strategy Officer has given him a front row seat to the transformation unfolding in business today. In addition to serving as a product visionary, he meets on a daily basis with executives from organizations like T-Mobile, Thomson Reuters, UBM, Genentech, the Clinton Global Initiative, Mylan, Avon, and hundreds of others. His work brings him into frequent collaboration with thought leaders across general business and technology domains, from industry analysts to technology visionaries.

Chris studied biology, tracked to be a doctor, and only through a twist of fate and the power of the 1990s technology bubble, pursued a career in high tech. His love of science was driven by a strong desire to understand the hidden “why” behind things. He thrives on uncovering the patterns that offer insights and then using this skill to help others navigate the new business reality of constant change.  This all ultimately led him to author the New York Times & USA Today best selling book, Transform, How Leading Companies are Winning with Disruptive Technologies.
