What if your engineering career suddenly started bleeding opportunities? Callan Schoonenberg didn’t just bandage hers—she slashed through norms, pivoting from supply chains to tech leadership as CIO of Wausau Supply Company. On Dissecting Popular IT Nerds, she spills the raw, unfiltered truth about hacking corporate ladders, clashing with complacency, and rewriting leadership playbooks with Harvard-grade insights. Nerd Takeaways from the Episode 🖊️ Harvard’s Hidden Leadership Hack: Callan reveals how the Harvard Business Analytics Program rewired her approach to IT leadership. Spoiler: Digital transformation isn’t about tech—it’s about orchestrating cultural change. Learn how she uses “facilitated dialogue” to smash resistance and rally teams around chaotic pivots. 🖊️ MBA vs. Midwest Nice: Her MBA wasn’t just spreadsheets and P&Ls. It armed her with tournament theory tactics to weaponize internal talent and “clear-as-kind” feedback frameworks to bulldoze Midwest politeness. Host Douglas J. Camin drags out the details: How she turned shadow IT hustle into a C-suite seat, why Agile is her antidote to corporate sclerosis, and the “redneck grandma” hobby that keeps her sane although she is not a grandma (spoiler: it involves knitting and ice fishing).
