Odgers Berndtson UK

The Odgers Berndtson CIO & Technology Officers Practice were delighted to host their annual drinks reception at our offices in Cannon Street.   Now in its 20th year, the event offers a lovely forum for CIOs and senior technology leaders to gather and refresh connections. The health of our business is reflected in the quality and enduring nature of the networks we build. Last evening brought together an impressive array of c.70 CIOs and technology leaders from all markets, including many old friends and new. We were honoured to share this with such a vibrant, rich and diverse network CIO, CTO, CDO, CISO and AI leaders alike! As we look back over the last two decades this community has been evermore at the forefront of Boards, delivering business success in each market cycle. And pleasingly they brought with them a strong sense of optimism and excitement for the challenges in the year ahead.
