Peter Settel doesn't believe there's been a time since the Internet first hit its stride that we've witnessed so much technology innovation and opportunity moving in so many directions simultaneously.
“When you had the dot-com movement there were incredible changes in so many directions so quickly,” says Settel, senior vice president and CIO of Homesite Insurance. “It's different now, but you are seeing the phenomenon of amazing and important things happening simultaneously and in many different directions. You need to be close to the action because just as the dot-com era rose and then descended, nobody can ignore the lasting impact of the Internet. This is an important time and some amazing things will pop up. You will want to be very close to that action. It's a pretty amazing time right now.
