About this episode

Scott Kinka and Christopher Bonavita discuss the importance of connectivity and AI in network strategy for CIOs.

In this live episode of The Bridgecast from the Bridgepointe Tech Summit in Miami, host Scott Kinka sits down with Christopher Bonavita, VP of Strategy and Technology Adoption at GTT, to explore why connectivity is your strategic foundation, not just a utility; how you can future-proof your network with AI-driven operational efficiency and simplified infrastructure; and the critical mistake most CIOs make when adopting AI (spoiler: it's about your processes, not your tools). Whether you're navigating hybrid work complexity, planning for AI at scale, or questioning what a "network" even means anymore, this conversation is packed with practical strategies to help you build infrastructure that enables rather than restricts your business. Tune in to discover why "doing less better" might be the boldest move your organization makes next.
