In an age where technology is rapidly reshaping how we operate, connect, and innovate, it’s vital to recognise the visionaries and leaders who embrace this digital transformation and actively pioneer it.
During ICT Leadership Awards 2023, CXO Insight ME proudly celebrated and honored excellence within the realm of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). We lauded extraordinary individuals who’ve left an indelible mark on the ICT landscape.
The event commenced with an exceptional and thought-provoking keynote address by Krishnan Gopi. As the Group Chief Disruption Officer and CEO of EdTech at GEMS Education, the world’s largest private educational institution, Gopi adeptly tackled the pressing global challenges. He underscored the pivotal role of technology leaders in addressing these challenges and reshaping our world.
He emphasized, “This era demands collaboration. As technology leaders, it’s our responsibility to collaborate, blending innovative ideas with cutting-edge technologies to illuminate a brighter future.”
The attendees also gained invaluable insights from Vibin Shaju, VP of Solutions Engineering at Trellix, who, delving deep into cybersecurity, expounded on the hurdles Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) encounter. Moreover, he elucidated Trellix’s contributions to cybersecurity and shared a poignant quote by the renowned security expert Bruce Schneier: “Amateurs hack systems; professionals hack people.”
The evening truly embodied a celebration of innovation, unwavering dedication, and the profound influence of technology in driving positive change.
