\nAbout Lee Eason:
\n\u201cDo you know much about computers?\u201d After a moment of consideration, desperate for a job, Lee Eason replied, \u201cI can do anything you need with computers.\u201d As a just-graduated History Education major, he knew almost nothing about computers. But he made up for what he lacked in experience with determination and curiosity. That first job at a small furniture plant in Raleigh, NC, launched a 20+ year career that would take Lee through roles as an IT manager, software developer, architect, Agile and DevOps leader, entrepreneur, Chief Technology Officer, and now Director of Digital Branch Experience at Edward Jones. Those roles have spanned several industries including marketing, education, healthcare, and financial technology. His passion for learning and teaching has been central to his success as a leader and change agent. You can read more about Lee at https://eason.blog.
