This book has been developing in my mind for several years. As I advised companies across regions and industries on digital business transformation, the ideas and insights grew and eventually overflowed to a point that I needed to write it down. As I poured my heart and soul into the contents, I realized that there were key people around me who contributed, supported, and motivated me to complete this challenging process.

First and foremost, my husband and daughter (and dog), who have been my cheerleaders, comforters, and motivators, keeping me going every time I came close to giving up or slowing down. You make it all worthwhile. And thank you to my family and friends, who always believed that I could achieve the big dreams in my heart.

I am also eternally grateful to the people that I have engaged with throughout my professional journey, including clients, partners, collaborators, and technologists. I am grateful to have shared this two-decade journey with you.

Finally, I would like to convey my deepest gratitude to the experts and leaders who contributed their time and insights for the book interviews. Despite achieving greatness in your own respective fields, you demonstrated generosity in sharing your expertise, experiences, and insights with full openness.
