Q . WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR CURRENT ROLE ?
» Firstly , I must say it ’ s been brilliant coming into an environment where people are super committed and hard-working , as well as caring and full of humour . A highlight in my current role has been the opportunity to shape and drive the transformation of the NTT Ltd . UK & Ireland business in the past year , building a more agile and ‘ match-fit ’ business .
Q . WHAT IS YOUR LEADERSHIP STYLE ?
» My personal and leadership approach is to have a razorsharp focus on building strategic relevance and advocacy with clients , colleagues , and partners . Trust and relevance are key parts of any equation of success , and advocacy is gained by delivering outcomes . That , of course , is easier said than done and needs strong and sustained internal alignment and collaboration across all parts of the organisation . That shapes how I think of my role , how I strive to lead and how I encourage others to lead . In my view , leadership at its core is not about the leader . It ’ s about how effective the leader is in creating conditions that enable success for others . My focus is on creating an environment in which individuals and teams can collaborate and thrive , create tangible impact and find fulfilment in what they do .
Q . WHAT EXCITING PLANS DO YOU HAVE COMING UP AS AN ORGANISATION ?
» It is a super exciting time to lead a platform , IP and asset rich business and drive the acceleration of our clients ’ digital transformation and modernisation imperatives . We recently announced that NTT DATA and NTT Ltd . will combine their IT Services organisations
