By now, most organisations are aware of the issues coming towards them as a result of the Broadcom/VMWare acquisition. Some have already experienced the price uplifts whilst more are aware of their pending fate. Nutanix according to any independent analyst is the obvious alternative. Why not spend 2 hours in the Dean Hotel on May 14th to understand what that alternative looks like and how it can alleviate those issues coming at your organisation quickly. #nutanix #broadcom #hypervisor

Thank you GDS Group for hosting my presentation at the CIO Insight Summit in Dublin! Some of the key aspects of my presentation covered areas many people are concerned with, in fact, many of my subsequent conversations with the leaders in the room focused on accelerated training to address the skills gap, prioritising patient support and urgent care with remote technology and the requirement for a fixed security posture in today's world. Other key topics from the event for me:- - AI needs to solve real business problems otherwise it is just an aspirin looking for a headache (thanks for that one, Romi Arman!) - Pace of change will be 4 times what it is today by 2040 - 80% of the jobs in 2030 do not exist today (both yours Grace Hayes, thank you!) Key to address all this? #continuouslearning & bridging the skills gap #GDSCIO #RemoteTechnology #Cybersecurity #Sustainability #TeamViewer #CIO #SkillsGap Tom Huxtable Will O'Reilly Narinder Brahach

As part of #Pride month celebrations, the Dell Technologies Dublin Pride ERG, in collaboration with #WIA, hosted a Lesson in Leadership. I had the privilege of moderating a captivating fireside chat with Sandra Healy, Founder and CEO of #inclusio.🌈 Sandra shared her remarkable journey—from starting as an engineer in the telco industry to becoming a trailblazer in diversity and inclusion. Her passion for equity, influenced by personal experiences and workplace disparities, drove her to engage with diversity long before it became mainstream. She recognised the lack of data demonstrating the impact of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in corporate settings. So, she founded inclusio—an organisation that helps companies measure and manage their cultural and diversity efforts through data. It was great to hear about Sandra’s Transformative Leadership style, how she leads with empathy, understanding the unique experiences of her team members. Her authenticity fosters trust and genuine connections. She champions diversity and inclusion, not as a checkbox but as a fundamental value. She ensures that everyone’s voice is heard and respected. Command and control stifles creativity and engagement. Effective leaders empower their teams by granting autonomy, fostering ownership, and encouraging innovation. Trust becomes the cornerstone. Leaders serve their teams, not the other way around. They remove obstacles, provide resources, and prioritise well-being. Compassion and empathy drive success. It’s obvious that Sandra doesn’t settle for the status quo. She envisions a more inclusive and equitable future, challenging conventional norms. Her vision and her leadership are inspiring. 🌈 #Leadership #Diversity #Inclusion #Equality #iworkfordelltechnologies Adela Binderova Marta Meloni Chisom Ezeilo Alex Rice Gareth Flynn Lisa Ronaldson Tomas Slaninka FCCA Lauren D.
