When thinking about niche high-tech manufacturing and critical components in medicine, optics, automotive, wearables and emerging technology no one really thinks about the massive IT operation that goes along with it. Inc Magazine had a few questions for our own IT Leader, Tysen Landmesser on how to manage such a large IT system in a global company.
