How CIOs And CISOs Can Improve Their Collaboration
CIODIVE, Wednesday, May 28th, 2025
IT and security leaders best serve their organizations when there are clearly defined roles and mutual respect for their counterparts' objectives.
Scott Arnold and James Bowie joke with the ease of longtime friends. Professionally, they've grown closer as part of their work as the CIO and CISO of Tampa General Hospital, a 1,040-bed non-profit medical center.
The two executives credit their well-oiled working relationship to mutual respect for each others' jobs and objectives, a link that allows them to work together to enable innovation without jeopardizing safety.
'We work hard to really strike a balance,' said Arnold. 'We want to go out on the edge and be innovative but also not at the expense of security for our patients and or our team members.'
