This week, Dan Roberts sits down with Melanie Kalmar, Corporate Vice President, Chief Information Officer, and Chief Digital Officer at Dow, a Fortune 82 company with $39 billion in revenue. Melanie’s vision for the future of IT at Dow is simple: changing the narrative and becoming a digital company in all aspects. When asked about her IT team, she says that all 36,000 employees are really her team, as IT and technology touches every single person. IT must be truly integrated into the business as a whole. Join Dan and Melanie as they discuss her role as CIO, using technologies to drive innovation, keys to overcoming imposter syndrome as a woman in IT, and inspiring the future workforce.

Listen to the end as David Alexander captures the brilliance of CIO Whisperers Advisory Board member Julie Cullivan for the Thought Leadership Moment!

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
