If you aspire to become a CDO, what steps should you take to prepare for it? If hired, what should you do in your first 90 days?

A serial entrepreneur, Conlin has a track record of success launching and leading small businesses. When he is not pursuing his technology passions at work, he dedicates his time to creative passions, including blacksmithing, goldsmithing, hot glass blowing, enameling, lapidary carving and welding.
