'Leaders Grow Leaders': CIO Ken Piddington On Developing IT Talent
CIO, Thursday, October 30th, 2025
Piddington's unique ability to align people to purpose and to teach and mentor tomorrow's IT leaders is tied to an intentional, data-driven approach to talent development.
As chief digital, technology, and integration officer at RelaDyne, Ken Piddington oversees digital and business technology strategies as well as business integration management and ESG strategy. He's also the ultimate example of a transformational leader who lives by the philosophy that the best leaders are great teachers and mentors.
When you talk with Piddington, his passion for developing leaders is obvious. He doesn't view culture and people as side projects or HR's responsibility. They are the foundation of how he drives business impact. On a recent episode of the Tech Whisperers podcast, we unpacked the teaching tools that help him lead, mentor, and multiply leaders.
