"I would totally consider myself an Enterpriser. I think you can't have a technology organization, you can't be a CIO, unless you are collaborative. And unless you are balancing these hard choices between resources and priorities and new technologies versus business outcomes, it's not possible to just have a one-sided approach, where you are off in your own silo doing IT or you're only thinking about the business. It's the collision and the collaboration of these forces that make successful leaders."

Marc Frons is the senior vice president and chief information officer of The New York Times, where he is responsible for all technology strategy and operations atthe company. Prior to being named CIO in 2012, he served as chief technology officer of digital operations for The New York Times Media Group, where he was in charge of technology and product development for digital platforms.
