📚 Just finished my second read of Fostering Innovation: How to Build an Amazing IT Team by Andrew Laudato—a must-read for any IT leader or aspiring CIO.
Packed with practical lessons and strategies you can apply right away, it resonated so much that I bought copies for my team.
I first met Andrew at an event organized by Jumpmind’s CEO, Joe Corbin. Hearing Andrew share his journey from CIO at Pier 1 Imports to COO of The Vitamin Shoppe was truly inspiring. Beyond his impressive experience, what stood out was his genuine nature and positivity. Reading his book, you quickly see the kind of positive culture he builds and why his teams thrive.
👉 For those in IT leadership (or aspiring to it), I can’t recommend this book enough. Get a signed copy here: https://andrewlaudato.com/
☕️ A special thank you to Andrew Laudato for the conversation, the book, and his Sunshine and Coffee newsletter (and yes, the mug too!).
