"Isaac gives digital leaders a programmatic and comprehensive approach to tackling the everchanging challenges in digital transformation. Digital Trailblaze is the must-go-to playbook for not only leadership advice, but also real-world stories on how to handle the toughest challenges in culture, process, and technology."

--R "Ray" Wang, Founder and CEO, Constellation Research, and two-time bestselling author, Disrupting Digital Business and Everybody Wants to Rule the World

"You'd be hard-pressed to find another author with a closer knowledge of both IT management and the underlying technology that powers enterprises. Isaac Sacolick has been there and done that as a CIO, so his advice is hard-bought--and thanks to his sharp writing skills, clear as a bell. Anyone involved in a transformational IT initiative would do well to read this book."

--Eric Knorr, Editor-in-Chief, IDG

"Finally, a guide to career growth from techy to top dog. Isaac's story-led approach breaks down the imposter syndrome barrier new leaders face and imparts practical knowledge in a consumable way, saving the reader from experiencing the pain of making the same mistakes."

--Helen Wetherley Knight, Co-Founder, TechForSocialGood.ca

"Isaac Sacolick holds a unique vantage point in the CIO world. From individual contributor to board partner, he has seen and done it all. His latest book offers a roadmap to the opportunities and challenges of being a modern Chief Information Officer. It's a world where technology is the crucial enabler of transformation, and the CIO is a business leader first. Isaac's journey is personal, important, and offers valuable lessons to the rest of us. If you are a CIO or aspiring CIO, then read this book."

--Michael Krigsman, Publisher, CXOTalk

"Digital Trailblazer should be required reading for rising technology and business leaders. The candid stories and pragmatic lessons will help you take your career to the next level and prepare you for the many challenges you're bound to face in the future."

--Dan Roberts, CEO, Ouellette & Associates Consulting, and Host, CIO Whisperers Podcast

"I have had the pleasure of working with Isaac for several years in his role as a leader of numerous executive-level discussions for CIOs at the programs I run. His sessions are always the standout, must-join piece of content at our events. His first book, Driving Digital, was a revelation, and I regularly advise my CIO clientele to treat it as a bible for digital transformation. This next installment might just be even better. Don't miss it!"

--Ross Abbott, CEO and Founder, SINC USA
