EDITOR’S NOTE
Hello and welcome to the latest
edition of Intelligent CIO Europe
where we explore the trends and
topics raising their head throughout the
technology sector across the region. We
hear from a number of industry experts
who cover various topics of interest.
On the cover this issue, we have Graham
Moore, Group Chief Information Officer at
Stagecoach, who tells us how the leading
multi-modal UK public transport company is
driving towards technological success.
Remote working is a prominent point
of discussion currently, as this style of
working has quickly become the norm.
However, the number of cyberattacks
to mobile devices have increased as a
result and we hear how vendors such
as Lookout and MobileIron are offering
solutions to protect against mobile
phishing, on page 42.
Curating a highly skilled, capable and
resilient workforce is the key to success
when leading a team and M.K. Palmore,
VP, Field Chief Security Officer for Palo
Alto Networks, discusses five ways to
become a strong leader of today in this
month’s ‘CIO Opinion’ feature.
This issue, we focus on why the
Netherlands is undoubtedly one of
Europe’s trailblazers when it comes to
Digital Transformation, on page 50. We
hear how the country is rapidly
developing into a breeding ground for
digital innovation and new business
models of the future, albeit with some
hurdles along the way.
We ask the experts how business leaders
have adapted their security budgets
to manage their operations moving
forward, as this month’s ‘Editor’s
Question’. Contributors include: Rory
Duncan, Security GtM Leader, UK, NTT
Ltd; Alain Sanchez, EMEA CISO, Senior
Evangelist at Fortinet; and Bharat Mistry,
Principle Security Strategist at Trend Micro,
who discuss this subject in further detail.
To round off, we hear from Rob Mellor,
VP and GM EMEA, WhereScape, for
our ‘Final Word’ feature. Mellor talks
about what a cloud data warehouse is
and the benefits of using it in today’s
digital landscape.
Our ‘Get To Know’ this month is with
Daumantas Dvilinskas, Co-founder and
CEO of TransferGo, who tells us how he
landed in his role, as well as how he likes to
relax and unwind outside the office.
