Bobby George, Senior Vice President and Chief Digital Officer at Carrier Global, discussed the company's digital transformation in two podcast appearances. In a July 2025 CIO Talk Network interview, he described how Carrier rebuilt itself as a digital company following its March 2020 spin-off from United Technologies. George said the company consolidated four separate business unit IT groups into one digital team and moved approximately three fourths of workloads to the cloud within a 12-month exit from transitional services agreements. He noted that programs such as IoT connectivity for products in service and automation were part of the transformation, and he emphasized the importance of aligning teams around a single mission focused on growing revenue and the bottom line. In an earlier April 2021 South Florida Tech Podcast interview, George recounted the challenges of establishing independent IT capabilities for the newly spun-off company during the pandemic. He said Carrier had about 12 months to transition off services provided by United Technologies and chose to use that period to leapfrog technologically rather than replicate prior systems. He also described the opportunity for technology to improve manufacturing, supply chain, and data flow across the enterprise, and advised aspiring technology leaders to find a problem they are passionate about solving.
