Status Go – Episode 68

Judd Williams has one of the coolest jobs in all of Information Technology. He is the CIO for the NCAA. Not only does he get to talk tech, he gets to do it while talking about sports! Earlier this year, I sat down to talk with Judd about the journey he and his team have been on over the last seven years and some of the cool apps they have developed for college sports. 

As Judd describes it, the state of the IT department of the NCAA when he arrived was “aimless”. They were missing some key positions and were order-takers only. Now, seven years later they are an award winning IT department: Computer World’s Best Places to Work in IT three years running; Information Week’s Elite 100 and IDG’s Digital Edge 50. 

Throughout our discussion, Judd shares his insights into leadership, technology, and business.
