Last week, Darryl Cresswell, CEO of MYDWARE IT Solutions, attended BuildIT2025 in New York, a conference dedicated to the future of AI and Cybersecurity. Beyond the technology, BuildIT2025 emphasized the importance of leadership in guiding organizations through constant change.
John Maxwell’s Influence
One of the standout voices at the event was renowned leadership expert John Maxwell. Known worldwide for his teachings on personal growth and organizational leadership, Maxwell reinforced the idea that strong leadership is the foundation of business success, especially in times of disruption.
For Cresswell, Maxwell’s message was a powerful reminder that leadership isn’t just about directing teams—it’s about inspiring trust, building resilience, and driving vision. These principles align directly with MYDWARE’s approach to empowering clients across the GTA and Simcoe County to embrace new technologies securely and confidently.
Applying Leadership to Cybersecurity
Maxwell’s focus on clarity and influence mirrors what businesses need in today’s digital world. AI and Cybersecurity are not just technical issues—they are leadership challenges. Business owners must make tough decisions, invest in the right tools, and lead their teams through change.
Cresswell returned from BuildIT2025 with a renewed commitment to ensuring MYDWARE continues to combine technical excellence with strong leadership—helping businesses face cyber threats head-on while building a culture of resilience.
