Brian
Gillooly
Editor-in-Chief, Events, Smart Enterprise Exchange and InformationWeek
Brian Gillooly has spent the past 20 years establishing a trusted and significant presence in the business technology community. One of the most recognized personalities in IT media, Brian has built valuable relationships with the most influential practitioners in the technology industry and counts among his closest contacts CIOs from Fortune 50 companies to small businesses.
As the editor-in-chief of Optimize and editor-in-chief of InformationWeek’s events business, Brian had the opportunity to not only engage the people who help shape the direction of business technology – notables like Jack Welch, C.K. Prahalad, Ralph Szygenda, and Michael Dell – but also to share trusted opinions and ideas through his CIO Nation blog, presentations at numerous live events, sage words from his weekly columns, and one-on-one meetings.
In his career in event content-generation, moderating, and presenting, Brian has developed a unique rapport with his audiences by eschewing the staid, lecture-style presentation and establishing a comfortable, often fun (but always informative) approach. As VP of member services New Paradigm, the Toronto-based think tank founded by renowned strategist Don Tapscott, Brian has helped Fortune 500 companies navigate the challenges of the Enterprise 2.0 era.
