Chief Convening Officer
Dan Roberts, a 2025 inductee into the CIO Hall of Fame, and the only non-CIO ever honored, is widely known as The Tech Whisperer and one of the most connected and trusted voices in the CxO community.
A 40-year tech industry veteran, Dan is the host of the Tech Whisperers
podcast, where he describes himself not as a storyteller, but as a teller of
others’ stories. With the care of an archaeologist, he digs beneath the surface to uncover the leadership philosophies, defining moments, and hidden gems that make each guest unique.
His style blends curiosity, narrative framing, and the voices of peers through “mystery questions,” creating conversations that both celebrate the leader and equip listeners with practical playbooks they can use to elevate their own leadership.
A passionate believer in paying it forward, Dan’s company has committed more than
$400,000 into scholarships for STEM nonprofits through their Tech4Good initiative, fueling the next generation of digital leaders.
Dan spent 30 years at the helm of Ouellette & Associates, the firm that coined the phrase “Developing the Human Side of Technology.” Now, as part of Technology Partners, he builds on that legacy by collaborating annually with hundreds of CxOs to build the digital workforce of the future, shape enterprise data strategy, and navigate the messy middle of AI with clarity and confidence.
