NSTC Leadership Insights Series – Transforming from “Techie” to Chairman of the Board

Can great technologists also be great leaders? Do those very qualities that launch successful careers in the technology and engineering fields become impediments or enablers in the successful transition to the C-suite?   What are the key challenges facing an engineer who aspires to become a leader, and what “secret weapons” can he or she use to compete with talent coming from other disciplines like management, law or finance? Daniel Serfaty – a “techie” engineering and mathematics graduate, now Chairman and CEO of Aptima, Inc. – will use his personal journey to explore these questions and share the answers he has found on his way from engineer to leader, as part of the North Shore Technology Council’s Leadership Insight Series at this monthly breakfast program. Wednesday, October 23, 2013, 7:00 - 9:00 AM (7:00 AM networking and continental breakfast; 8:15 AM program begins). Danversport Yacht Club, 161 Elliott Street, Danvers, MA. Register for this event at www.nstc.org. The registration fee is $25 for NSTC members and $50 for non-members.  E-mail events@nstc.org for more information. Sponsored by NSK Inc.
