Dealing with this change will remain one of the biggest challenges for people just entering the technology industry, he said. "When I talk to customers about investments in technology, the terms have to be in RoI (return on investment).

He said he hopes to spend at least part of his time after he retires to helping companies -whether large enterprises or startups -navigate the disruptions ahead.
