Where are the thought leaders in the IW community? Who are they?

"What is a Thought Leader? Thought leaders are the informed opinion leaders and the go-to people in their field of expertise. They are trusted sources who move and inspire people with innovative ideas; turn ideas into reality, and know and show how to replicate their success. They create a dedicated group of friends, fans and followers to help them replicate and scale those ideas into sustainable change not just in one company but in an industry, niche or across an entire ecosystem." 
Glenn Llopis says this about thought leaders over at Forbes.com - "Those leaders in your organization that are applying new ways of thinking to propel growth, innovation and opportunity are the game changers. They are the ones that intimately know the mechanics involved with each line of business, trends, recent challenges, competitive pressures and where the growth opportunities exist. Game changers represent those in your innovation lab that champion ideas and fuel new thinking."

To a great extent, our IW Junior Officers are some of the leading thinkers in our community. This new generation of leaders is leading the charge for change and, in some cases, calling for a return to our cryptologic roots.
