Trey Hawkins has been a CTO for 20 years, pretty incredible for a guy in his mid-40’s. I asked Trey to share with us how he moved from single contributor to leader, how has he pivoted in the age of Covid, and what’s next that we should be thinking about? Trey is a fixture in Atlanta IT circles, known for his intellect, leadership skills, and, evidently, his killer racquet ball skills.
