Paragon Restaurant and Bar

Join CEOs, CFOs, and General Counsels of Oregon technology companies on Thursday, November 16th to exchange insights with your peers and colleagues.

The evening will begin with dinner and a welcome from Bonnie Page, General Counsel at Smarsh, Inc., with selected table leads who will facilitate smaller discussions on voted topics around security & strategy.

The only event in Portland Startup Week focussed squarely on the Portland CTO community!

My name is Etienne de Bruin and as a CTO myself I’ve had issues with connecting, learning and benefiting from the collective experiences of other CTOs and that is why I am working hard to create a trusted community of Chief Technology Officers, young and old, past and present based in Portland, OR.

Come enjoy cocktails and appetizers on me with the sole purpose of breaking down barriers and leaning into the collective.

This event is intended for:

• Professionals within the Oracle community (Technical and Functional)

• Recent graduates interested in learning more about our industry

• All other technology professionals welcome

During the event, you will have the opportunity to meet and speak with our Founders, Practice Directors, Consultants, and our HR/Recruiting team. We will share information about our project engagements and will answer any questions related to our industry and organization. Come enjoy an evening of networking, beverages and appetizers with our Jibe Team!

We look forward to meeting you!

“Value Stream” is a term that originated with Lean Manufacturing meaning to analyze and design the flow of materials and information required to bring a product or service to a consumer. The whole idea is to drive out waste, deliver fast, build quality in, and engage all of the people involved in the value stream so that great products emerge. Urban Airship has had a lot of success with Kanban and Kaizen…

So wrote Mike Herrick, VP Engineering at Urban Airship in Portland. Coming from both an engineering and operations background myself, this caught my attention – the idea of using manufacturing principles to streamline and accelerate product development and deployment is intriguing.

Engineering Executives must assure that the flow continues all the way from blue-sky concept through development, productization, release to manufacturing, scale-up and support – often to a world-wide market. We’ve invited Mike to join us to kick-off our round-table CTO Forum discussions in April with a few anecdotes and reflections on what they’re doing and what they’ve learned.

Please join us for this opportunity to exchange ideas and real-life experiences with your industry peers.
