Chief Information & Transformation Officer
Our client is a world-leading Portsmouth / Hampshire based manufacturing company, specialising in the production of high quality electrical and electronic components to meet some of the most demanding applications across the aerospace, military, medical, automotive and telecommunications sectors.
Through inspiration, innovation, advanced technologies, and a focus on quality & service, they have positioned themselves at the vanguard of the sector, distributing their portfolio of over 20,000 products to more than 100,000 active customers worldwide. They are a true British Engineering / Manufacturing success story.
Now entering their next phase of growth, with a new £33m+ manufacturing facility under construction in Portsmouth and clear ambitions to scale the business significantly over the coming decade. As the company grows – organically and through acquisition – the complexity of its technology, data and security landscape will increase substantially.
They are seeking an exceptional technology leader to join the board and take responsibility for their international technology, data and digital strategy. Technology is moving at an extraordinary pace, and the board needs someone who can cut through the noise, identify what matters for this business and translate emerging capabilities into practical competitive advantage.
