The TNCR Editorial team highly recommends the latest episode of the Net Effects Podcast, co-hosted by Les Ottolenghi and Mark Bavisotto, and featuring CIO Partners founder, Mike Burgett.
Les and Mark regularly host discussions with successful startup founders, business leaders, and C-Suite executives. Their episodes often include interviews and conversations highlighting digital transformation, social transformation, and personal transformation.
In this episode, Mike shares his journey on how he got to where he is today, the value of mentorship, where to seek career growth, challenges of networking, and general advisement for technology thought leaders.
“That ability to be humble, as a tech leader, whether you’ve been-there-done-that or you’re emerging, I think is very important. It’s good to know exactly what you’re good at and what you bring to the table.”

Recognized in the interview as the “CIO Whisperer”, Mike is the Founder and Executive Advisor of CIO Partners®, a technology services company specializing in Executive Search and Recruitment Strategies for the Fortune 1000. In this episode, he shares some unique perspectives from his 30+ years in technology, leadership, and executive hiring.
Think about getting to know someone first personally, what makes them tick? What’s important? How old are their kids? Where do they live? What are their favorite sports teams? Because then you can relate, and then once you can relate you can break down those barriers.
