🔰 I recently watched David Gee’s interview on CIO Leadership Live, where he shared insightful lessons from his extensive global career as CIO for Australia, Asia Pacific, Japan, and the USA. In the interview, David, who recently retired as Global Head of Technology, Cyber, and Data Risk at Macquarie Group, talks candidly about the pivotal moments in his career, the lessons learned, and the evolution of leadership roles in IT. His experience, particularly as CIO at MetLife Japan—where he led a $300 million IT operation and transformed customer engagement for the $70 billion insurer—truly stood out.

In addition to the interview, David has recently released a powerful new book, The Aspiring CIO and CISO, which serves as a comprehensive guide for those seeking to advance in these roles. The book is filled with practical advice on navigating challenges, building high-performing teams, and adapting to the rapidly changing landscape of technology and cyber risk.

What I find particularly valuable is David’s emphasis on continuous learning and self-transformation, an ethos that comes through strongly in both his interview and his book. If you are aspiring to become a leader in IT or cybersecurity—or if you just want to gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to lead in today’s digital world—I highly recommend both watching David’s interview and picking up his book. His unique perspective, drawn from decades of experience across multiple industries and regions, is both inspiring and instructive.
