Bob Leek went from building software at Egghead as Director of Application Development to defending Las Vegas against 4 million daily cyberattacks.

Now he's putting AI agents on his org chart as actual employees and thinks most CIOs are doing AI completely wrong.

As CIO for Clark County, Nevada, Bob oversees technology for 2.3 million residents plus 50 million annual tourists. With a $370 million budget and 20 AI pilots running simultaneously, he's not just keeping the lights on—he's reimagining what govtech can do.

His contrarian approach? AI isn't artificial intelligence, it's "augmented intelligence."

The result: website translation across 30+ languages, real-time translation pilots underway, AI teammates on the payroll, and a 50% internal promotion rate that's turning IT staff into technology leaders.

Bob has cracked the code on moving from tactical IT firefighting to strategic technology leadership.

So in this episode, you'll learn:
How to implement AI that actually aligns with business outcomes
How to design technology around citizens, not departments
The framework for putting AI agents on your org chart as employees
How to turn IT staff into strategic technology leaders (w/ 50% internal promotion rate)
