459: ProntoForms Corporation CEO Alvaro Pombo gives valuable advice to other CIOs who would wish to follow in his footsteps to become a CEO. First, he notes that technologists can become too enamored with technology. He notes that since businesses ultimately care most about outcomes, he advises focusing on transformations that impact the broader business. He also underscores the importance of being proximate to customers, noting that they care most about outcomes that are scalable. We also discuss the genesis story of ProntoForms, how the company managed through the 2008 financial crisis, and other advice for CIOs who wish to rise above the role, among other topics.

CIO to Founding CEO with ProntoForms' Alvaro Pombo

Brian talks with Alvaro Pombo, CEO and Founder of ProntoForms, a 14 year old start-up as Alvaro likes to refer to it. They started out with web forms but they didn’t really work for mobile devices for the first 7 years. They moved into native forms and Alvaro walks Brian through a few use cases and how they can use the sensors in the mobile devices, the camera, maps etc within the native form. They start with security and it pervades the process. Alvaro walks Brian through many of the connectors that they have and how they are growing and where he expects ProntoForms to be in the next few years.Twitter: 	@AlvaroPombo@prontoforms	Website:	http://www.prontoforms.com
