In this episode of Atomic Conversations, Lenin Gali, Chief Business Officer at Atomicwork, speaks to Mark Settle, a distinguished seven-time CIO and influential ITSM thought leader.

Having served as CIO across diverse industries including BMC Software, IHS, Oxy, and Arrow Electronics, he has consistently transformed IT organizations into strategic business assets.
