DES MOINES, Iowa (February 18, 2026) – The Technology Association of Iowa (TAI) is pleased to announce that Sanjeev Satturu, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Casey’s, will deliver the keynote address at the Iowa Technology Summit.

Satturu joined Casey’s in August 2021 to lead technology strategy focused on making technology “smart and convenient” for Casey’s guests and team members. He brings a proven track record leading complex technology and operations organizations, with prior leadership experience at Travelers, John Deere, and DaimlerChrysler.

In his keynote, “Evolution, Not Disruption: Leading Traditional Companies in a Digital World,” Satturu will share a practical leadership perspective on navigating digital change without losing what makes an organization strong. Attendees will hear how technology-enabled evolution depends as much on leadership, culture, and decision-making as it does on tools, and how organizations can balance stability, growth, and innovation while strengthening resilience, security, and productivity.

“Technology leadership is now inseparable from business leadership,” said Brian Waller, President of the Technology Association of Iowa. “As CIO of Casey’s, an Iowa-built brand operating at a national scale, Sanjeev brings insight grounded in real operational experience on what it takes to modernize, stay resilient, and deliver results. His keynote will resonate with leaders and tech practitioners across Iowa who are navigating change while keeping performance, people, and customers at the center.”
