Director - Technology Transformation

The Technology Transformation practice is one of the key practice areas within the Strategy & Business Transformation Practice and works with the technology leaders in the organization (CIO, CDO, CTO) to drive business and technology transformation. We partner with technology organizations to address gaps through business and technology capability roadmaps, technology governance, change management, technology sourcing, operating model strategies and business engagement. We recognize that true technology transformation comes through changes in culture and ways of interacting with business partners.
