Here's the plan that helped a former IBM exec forge a new career path in tech and stand out from equally ambitious professionals
It was 1993, and Marie Wieck was IBM's executive assistant to the chief financial officer.
That anecdote neatly illustrates the way Wieck has approached both IBM's business strategy and her own career development. At IBM, Wieck embraced emerging technologies — including blockchain, cloud computing, and software — as exciting challenges. She saw these new platforms as prime opportunities to build her own leadership profile, developing expertise in areas that most people didn't know anything about.
"Don't be afraid to try," Wieck said. "Just get in there and jump into the pool. Because you'll figure things out as you go." The willingness to learn and stretch yourself is a way to stand out from other ambitious professionals
