About Charles Cline

With over 18 years as a technologist in various roles, I have found I most enjoy leading collaboration and innovation across organizations. Most recently I have been a part of leading digital transformations at Wilson Elser and UnitedLex, designing and leading adoption of new enterprise services and applications. I prefer organizations where I can continue to do interdisciplinary work in areas such as inclusion and diversity. I also present on technology trends and facilitate discussions at events such as Ignite (formerly TechEd), CHECK and UNC CAUSE.Specialties: Building partnerships, technology architecture and software development, service management, regulatory compliance, leadership, collaboration, innovation, technology portfolio management, governance.
