Interview with Zoetis CEO and CIO—Session Video

Peter Weill interviews the CEO and CIO of Zoetis to discuss the company's digitally savvy top management team.
Published: May 24, 2022 Topic(s): Assessing Performance and Value; CxO Leadership

There’s little doubt that the future of business is digital. Having a top management team (TMT) that understands the role of digital in the firm’s success makes a huge difference. MIT CISR research has shown that large firms whose executive team has that understanding—which we call digital savvy—outperformed other firms by more than 48%, based on revenue growth and valuation. In this session, Peter Weill interviewed the CEO and CIO of Zoetis—Kristin Peck and Wafaa Mamilli—about best practices that ensure coordination between the CIO and CEO and support a digitally savvy TMT.

This video is from the MIT CISR Digital Leadership Summit (DLS2022) on May 24, 2022. See all publications from the 2022 Digital Leadership Summit.
