Mark Dunkerley Shares Insights on Managing Hidden IT Costs

Mark Dunkerley, Chief Information Security Officer and Vice President of Enterprise Technology Services at Coca-Cola Bottlers’ Sales & Services Company (CCBSS), recently joined host Bradd Busick on “The Savvy CIO” podcast for a conversation about the financial and operational challenges shaping today’s technology landscape.

During the episode, Mark discussed the hidden costs that can quietly erode IT budgets, including cloud sprawl, unused tools, lingering artificial intelligence pilots, emerging token-based AI pricing models, and the ongoing expense of legacy technology and technical debt.

He also shared how effective chief information officers and chief information security officers are moving beyond traditional organizational silos. By aligning around shared ownership of risk, business continuity, and data-informed communication, technology leaders can help executives and boards make stronger decisions in an increasingly complex environment.
