In this interview, we discuss the three parts of Insight’s investment thesis, an overview of the company’s digital acceleration program, Insight IGNITE, and the challenges of communication between IT and the rest of the business. We also discuss how Insight Partners can save IT leaders many trips to Silicon Valley by finding tech globally, and how the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated many of the areas the company has invested in. Further, we discuss the four types of boards that exist based on the size and maturity of those companies and the assistance each needs from its directors, the increased importance on creativity for humans with more AI and automation, Emmet’s take on IoT, the cloud, automation, 5G, and RPA, and a variety of other topics.
