850 Vet Hospitals. One CIO. Zero BD W/Andrew Rosenblat #411

You've Been Heard, Monday, March 23rd, 2026

Andrew Rosenblatt is CIO at VetCore, a PE-backed veterinary medicine company. He's done this job three times across behavioral health, home health, and vet medicine. Each time, same lesson.

The biggest trap in IT leadership isn't technical. It's thinking your job is about technology. "You're perpetually selling," Andrew says. "Your job is to package this idea and bring everybody on board with you and convince them that it's actually not your idea. It's their idea."

We get into why IT should never lead initiatives (only deliver them), how to stay vendor-nimble in a market where obvious winners haven't emerged, and why Andrew only signs month-to-month contracts now.

The payoff? A framework for getting business outcomes without getting trapped in the "IT knows best" silo that kills credibility and budgets.
