Interview: Dominic Redmond, group CIO, PageGroup | Computer Weekly

"Having started his career as a project manager, Redmond delivered major initiatives for Xerox and Aon that touched on the implementation of technology. As he increasingly focused on IT systems, his career trajectory changed, saying: "I blended large-scale transformations with IT early in my career, so that's why I'm a technologist today." After working as head of strategy for brewer SAB Miller, in November 2016 Redmond joined FTSE 250 firm PageGroup - often best known by its Michael Page brand."

"He worked as an IT director and managed applications globally for the company before assuming the group CIO role in January 2021. "I ran a major digital transformation programme and started to inherit other parts of technology until it became quite a natural segue into taking the CIO job, because I was running all the different pieces, and technology is a big opportunity in professional services," he says."

"As group CIO, Redmond has a global mandate to drive business performance through technology and data. He says there are many facets to that broad role, including engaging with disparate functions, overseeing information security, managing day-to-day operational IT systems. "I look for opportunities to take advantage of modern technology and connectivity. Then you get into your business systems, and the fact that those platforms are what we ultimately use to engage with our customers, whether that's clients or candidates," he says."
