On his LinkedIn profile, Paul Zikopoulos states, “on his dumbest days he’s never as dumb as he feels, and on his smartest days, he’s never as smart as he feels either.” The importance of acknowledging blind spots is a big part of Zikopoulos’s message to the ProMat 2025 audience.
Speaking on Monday, March 17 at 9 AM, Zikopoulos will deliver a keynote titled “The Data Effect: The Price of Not Knowing.” From data collection to decision-making, Zikopoulos, Vice President of Technology Unit Skills & Enablement at IBM, will address the perils of not understanding what your data can tell you.
As a 30-year IBM veteran, Zikopoulos brings a wealth of experience to the ProMat stage. He oversees the strategic direction of IBM’s Technology Unit, including sales, technical sales, partner ecosystems, and upskilling programs. His keynote will help you reframe the way that you look at business in terms of sales, obstacles, potential for growth, and technology utilization, including generative AI and cloud applications.
A self-described “data nerd”, Zikopoulos has penned more than 20 books, including “The AI Ladder: Accelerate Your Journey to AI” and “Cloud Without Compromise: Hybrid Cloud for the Enterprise.” He is also serves on the Masters of Management Analytics and AI program boards at Canada’s prestigious Queen’s University.
What is a secret to Paul’s successful career? According to his recent LinkedIn post, curiosity is a big part of it. “ALWAYS be curious… what separates the Pros from the Joes, the Masters from Disasters, Winners and Beginners.. it’s CURIOSITY,” he writes.
