"This role is all about thinking how you can use your experience and keep yourself up to pace with the advancement that is happening in the technology world. As CIO, you must ensure you understand market insights, so that you know what's happening in the business, what's happening in the industry, and then continue to push your stakeholders on future-proofing your organisation."
"You also need to ensure that you know how to focus on meeting the requirements from the board, which are quite challenging at this time, because everybody's thinking about AI, but not necessarily thinking about what they want to get out of AI. I've met a lot of CIOs at Gartner sessions and other events, and everyone seems to be in the same boat."
Ankur Anand joined Nash Squared as group CIO in June 2023 after senior technology roles at Manpower Group and Citi. Responsibilities include ensuring reliable day-to-day technology operations and using market insights to future-proof the organisation and build candidate brand through technology. The CIO role now combines business-as-usual IT delivery with strategic initiatives to upskill and reskill teams. Boards are focused on AI but often lack clarity on desired outcomes, creating a common challenge for CIOs. Anand emphasizes staying current with technological advancement, pushing stakeholders toward long-term planning, and balancing operational stability with transformation.
