An Interim CIO to Transform and Refocus the Tech Function

April 5, 2022 Summer Foote

A UK-based medical affairs and healthcare communications company faced challenges with its IT team. Ineffective leadership accompanied by inexperienced team members had led to stagnation and a lack of focus. In order to revitalize the function and get a handle on team dynamics, the CHRO reached out to Business Talent Group (BTG) looking for an interim CIO.

BTG provided a seasoned UK-based technology executive and advisor with 25+ years of experience as an IT leader and strategy expertise spanning multiple industries. He was able to manage the team effectively while helping the organization develop a plan to transform the IT function—addressing organizational development and assessing people, skills, and technology. He also acted as a strategic advisor to the CEO on key technology concerns.
