Allan Tate
Confidence 0.75 · 2 sources · last confirmed 2026-07-15
Executive Chair of the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium. ASR consistently renders his first name “Alan” across the wiki’s two symposium sources. Co-creator, with Irving Wladawsky-Berger, of the symposium’s inquiry framework and its weekly podcast series — both born from the two men’s ongoing conversations about how CIOs should think, not just what they should do.
