The role of the CTO has morphed into a complex, evolving set of responsibilities. Historically, technology was seen as an expense to reduce, but as firms redefine themselves in this digital era, we’re seeing the technology strategy become intertwined with business strategy. Yet, very few RIAs have a CTO. As technology and data become central to the value companies offer their customers, spearheading transformational change is increasingly a top priority for CTOs. But, how should they prioritize and manage it all?
In this episode, Shannon Rosic, director of WealthStack content and solutions, speaks with Vib Arya, COO/CTO of Shufro Rose, about the constantly changing role of the CTO and how to stay ahead of the technology curve.
Shannon and Vib discuss:
- Tips that can help RIAs evolve their practice with technology
- The biggest concerns that keep CTOs up at night
- How to create a company culture that embraces technology
- How technology can help deepen the client/advisor relationship
