CIO Gray Nester On Fostering A Culture Of Success
CIO, Thursday, February 22nd, 2024
The Brown & Brown IT chief stresses the importance of partnerships within and outside the business, as well as instilling in teams the courage to embrace change and get up when knocked down.
Brown & Brown Insurance EVP and CIO Gray Nester leads with intention. In heading up people, strategy, operations, and processes for the world's seventh-largest insurance brokerage, he instills in his team the courage to challenge the status quo and explore solutions that will further differentiate the firm in the marketplace.
Like all the best CIOs, Nester doesn't allow himself to lose focus or get thrown off course by setbacks or the latest distractions. Instead, he's locked in on what I call the seven Cs of great leaders: culture, cultivate, communicate, collaborate, customer, courage, and change.
