A Translation Superhero

By Nomad Futurist

What does it take these days to be innovative in the world of technology? Is there a “superpower” that can cut through the increasing complexity of the IT infrastructure landscape, connecting the dots between technology and business?

In this generous and insightful #NomadFuturist podcast, technology industry analyst Charles Araujo shares his story and thoughts about the current state of IT and the career trajectory that led him to a position of leadership in the IT space as a thought leader, author and speaker, advising enterprise executives as they go through transformative organizational journeys.

A precocious geek and teenage entrepreneur, Araujo was able to articulate and translate technology concepts to upper management as a twenty-year old techie. This ability to provide a bridge to address a growing gap in understanding between technology and business remained a primary focus throughout his career.

“I think the ability to serve as a translator, to be able to explain the complexity of the underlying technology in business terms is becoming super important …Organizations that have people with those skills are going to be the ones that win!”

Araujo also believes that enterprise professionals need to practice the skill of empathy for the end user.
