Today’s episode of The G&T Sessions we are honoured to have not one but two guests. Our first guest is Aaron Spradlin, the Chief Information Officer of United Planners. He joined United Planners in 2007, with 15+ years of broad based financial services industry experience including compliance and IT. Prior to joining United Planners, Aaron has been a sought after industry consultant as well as being a Director at Charles Schwab and Business Analyst for AIG.
Our second guest is Mike Hallett, the CEO of Cleverdome, a leader in growth acceleration, establishing global presence to rapid expansion and eventual acquisition of software based businesses. In addition, he has significant global board and advisory experience. Mike’s senior management experience includes Honeywell, Oracle, Siebel, Kintana, and CollabNet, and most recently he co-founded a company within the Tata Communications Innovation investment business. We covered in this episode a hot topic related to recent SEC focus on Cyber incidents and how Aaron and his work with Mike at Cleverdome has put in place an innovative way to protect and scale the United planners business. Very insightful for regulated businesses who want to manage risk at scale as this phenomenon is not going away any time soon.

The G&T Sessions
We cover G = Growth from a Personal & Business perspective, as it is a fascinating and compelling topic to share stories and experiences, and T = Technology, something that is everywhere and is firmly here to stay...asking the questions about what does it mean, is it for good, how do we harness it and ensure it helps our future.
So, in the G&T Sessions Podcast, we are speaking directly to ourselves, when we were younger, not as wise as we are today, how could we know how transformative that Technology would affect the world .... And know how getting your personal growth and mindset in order, is a key building block and enabler to any organisation or business idea you want to scale.
We're going to try to take you, the audience, on a journey through the stories and lessons of gifted and talented people who have written their own personal growth stories, dealt with amazing peaks and character building valleys, but have learned and carved their own path to making their own history and future.
#Gifted #Talented.
Given Tech now integrates into so many areas of our life and many people see this as their new path for opportunity, we will also discuss Tech with our guests who are growing, advising, supporting, coaching and innovating in and around technology and so the founders, co-founders, entrepreneurs, CEO’s, leadership teams of tomorrow will know how to realise their dreams, find and unleash their own ideas to become unicorns, build new markets, new businesses & disrupt the world for the greater good.
