Hello, this is Smart Talks with IBM, a podcast from Pushkin Industries, I-Heart Media, and

IBM about what it means to look at today's most challenging problems in a new way.

I'm Malcolm Gladwell.

Today I'll be discussing the innovations around Hybrid Cloud with

Loomin's David Shacoches and IBM's Howard Bowville. David is Vice

President for Enterprise Technology and Field CTO at Loomin, where he's helped clients across industries create new business opportunities through unique digital interactions.

David has been immersed in cloud computing

long before his time with Lumen,

working with companies such as UNET, Digital Island,

and Fuse Point.

You're putting computing capacity in places that didn't use to be thought of as data centers before.

There's an element of novel challenge, and so inherently there's more complexity.

Howard is the head of IBM Cloud Platform.

In this role, Howard has focused on driving digital transformation for enterprises, especially in highly regulated industries.

Before joining IBM, Howard was Chief Technology Officer for Bank of America,

where he led the transformation of the bank's infrastructure

and developed one of the largest internal private clouds.

At the times you have to kind of be a technology evangelist in terms of what the art of the possible

is against the problems.

In this episode, we'll explore working and living in a world of cloud technology.

We'll show you how new innovations in cloud computing have reimagined a world where computing can happen anywhere

and businesses can use data to accelerate innovation to improve service and performance.
