HCL Technologies CEO - C Vijayakumar - har utsetts till styrelseordförande för World Economic Forums IT Governors Community
Stockholm, 22 januari 2020 - Det globala teknologiföretaget HCL Technologies (HCL) meddelar att företagets CEO, Mr. C. Vijayakumar, har utsetts till styrelseordförande för IT Governors Community på World Economic Forum. Tillkännagivandet gjordes på forumets årliga möte i Davos, Schweiz.
På forumets IT Governors Community samlas varje år cheferna för världens främsta IT-företag, för att tillsammans diskutera hur de på ett ansvarsfullt sätt kan forma sin branschs framtid. Organisationen fungerar som en plattform för att fastställa branschens prioriteringar, skapa gemensam förståelse och samordna åtgärder som ger resultat.
Under Vijayakumar kommer organisationen att prioritera dialog och åtgärder kring de mest angelägna frågorna som påverkar branschens framtida utveckling, som omskolning av talanger, datastyrning, säkerhet, integritet och ansvarsfull hantering av artificiell intelligens.
- Vi är mycket glada över att ha Vijayakumar som ordförande för IT Governors Community, som i år kommer att fokusera på ansvarsfullt teknikledarskap. Vi ser fram emot nästa steg och att tillsammans få hantera brådskande utmaningar, säger Eric White, Head of IT Industry vid World Economic Forum
- I vår tid, där tekniken är kärnan i praktiskt taget varje individuell, social, politisk och företagsrelaterad åtgärd och därmed hamnar i centrum för mänskliga framsteg, är det kritiskt att IT-industrin förblir en ledstjärna för ansvarsfullt ledarskap, sade C Vijayakumar, President & CEO, HCL Technologies. Med denna vision i åtanke ser jag fram emot att under året få arbeta nära mina kollegor i IT Governors Community för att tackla prioriterade frågor av omedelbar och förestående relevans, kombinerat med lansering av några nya initiativ för branschsamarbete kring datasekretess, skicklighet och ansvarsfull användning av nya teknologier.
