Executive Overview

Helping global tech leaders turn resilience into a competitive advantage. Field CTO | Storyteller | Builder of Bold Ideas I’m Cory Minton — Global Field CTO at Splunk and general “Renaissance Man”, partnering with leading organizations to turn Observability, AIOps, IoT, and Digital Resilience into real-world outcomes. I connect boardroom priorities to technical execution, helping enterprises prepare for what’s next. Before Splunk, I hosted the Big Data Beard podcast, where we explored the frontiers of AI, analytics, and emerging tech — back when “AI” was still a buzzword in the making and cat videos where expected in your presentations. That passion and curousity still drives my work today, living at the intersection of innovation and impact, helping organizations imagine and deliver what’s possible with technology in fun, approachable ways. Today, I proudly serve as the executive sponsor for Splunk’s partnership with McLaren’s F1 team, helping drive innovation on and off the track. Most important title? Dad. (Still hanging on to ‘cool’ status… for now.) Always exploring. Always building. Always learning. Let’s connect.
