Sure yes, in modern business environments, everyone's business interacts at least in some way with computing, digital products like media and software, and the internet. Even if you had a remote industrial site cutoff from the wider internet, there would be some automation to be done and some code to do it. Every organization should have a CTO, if nothing else than to make procurement and outsourcing decisions. Organizations shouldn't outsource that which differentiates them, and there's lots of room for differentiation in the quality and degree of automation, thus internal software teams. Etc.
All I'm getting at is that those present set of truths, that that reality hasn't spread everywhere yet, and it's still worth celebrating when it has and when it goes well.
There are plenty of people given plenty of power in leadership that won't bring themselves to understand technology and have yet to retire.

For instance, see http://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-wants-to-become-the-google-of-wall-street-2017-4 http://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-wants-to-become... . While there are still “relationship bankers” in expensive suits, most acknowledge that software is key to giving them an edge over the competition, and that building a culture around software only helps them.
