CEO Series: Disruption in Technology
CEOs at Home: An interview series with CEOs and business leaders from across the technology sector
Through a series of video interviews, Mike Drew, Partner and Head of the Global Technology & IT Services Practice at Odgers Berndtson speaks to CEOs and business leaders from across the technology sector to understand how they have led through disruption and their perspectives on what the future holds.
Over the last 15 months, business leaders have been tested more than ever before. Whether caused by the pandemic or major social change, the rise of agile and empathetic leaders has been critical to businesses successfully navigating change and disruption.
The technology sector is not immune to these shifting market factors, and while many tech companies have grown as a result of greater digital adoption, they have faced the same challenges as every other business.
