Is it moving, transitioning or leaping when an IT professional becomes a "C-Level" executive in a manufacturing company? Ask Mark Endry, Partner in Arrow Industrial. Mark is a big believer in mentoring. There are many people in large companies that become entrepreneurs or join small companies. There is much to learn in that type of transition...or should we say leap? As an example, Mark points out that he has been on the roof of their building telling contractors what needed to be done to fix the air conditioning. Of course, if you were to ask Mark about the roof, he'd tell you he was up there learning about the air conditioning system. Ask your typical CIO or CEO when was the last time they did something like that? Mark spent 16 years with Digital Equipment, 8 years with JD Edwards (he was the CIO when Larry and Pat met him) and then onto being the CEO at Hyperrspace through its IPO in 2 years. BTW, Arrow Industrial is a super-high end precision manufacturing firm with class 'A' clients. Mark is concerned that there are not many young people in the high-paying funnel of manufacturing careers. LISTEN
