Jason Crabtree is the CEO of QOMPLX, a global leader in commercial cybersecurity and risk analytics. It is QOMPLX’s mission to reimagine the complexity of the modern data-driven economy for our clients. As the CEO of QOMPLX, Mr. Crabtree is responsible for the overall vision and long term direction of the company, in addition to overseeing all aspects of company operations. While “complexity” is often viewed as a negative attribute, the most powerful things in life are complex. Planet Earth. Global enterprises. Human beings. Several years ago, Stephen Hawking said “the next century [21st] will be the century of complexity." Rick Nason of Dalhousie University’s Rowe School of Business explains in his book It’s Not Complicated: The Art and Science of Complexity in Business, “if you manage complex things as if they are merely complicated, you’re likely to be setting up your company for failure." Eliminating complexity would make no sense. Embracing complexity and harnessing it is the path to success. —————————————————————— Registration for SALT New York is now open!
