This month we have welcomed a new Chair and 4 new Advisory Board members here at Digital Leaders. It has given the board some great new perspectives and me the chance to talk all things Digital Leadership with 5 leaders who really know what it means.<\/p>\n
I am very pleased to be able to welcome our new Chair, Sabby Gill<\/strong>. He joined the Board when he was UK&I MD at SAGE three years ago, but he has now taken up the reins at software company Dext. Sabby believes that \u201cstrong Digital Leadership can maximize & scale any business and create success within digital business\u201d. As Sabby says, \u201dthat sounds easy, but we do not all necessarily have the skills or time to make that happen\u201d. For him Digital Leaders provides a great forum for like minded people to share thoughts, forge partnerships, collaborate proactively on ideas and navigate the complex nature of everything that is Digital.<\/p>\n New advisory Board member Professor Mark Thompson<\/strong> says that \u201cthis is an important time for digital leadership, when understanding the impact of the fast-moving digital economy on organisations, culture, government, and the environment presents one of the very biggest challenges facing our society.\u201d Mark has chaired our main annual conference for several years and adds that in his opinion \u201cDigital Leaders has a great track record of bringing talented people together to discuss and share their learning on these issues.\u201d<\/p>\n Picking up on that theme of the challenging time that leaders face, Global CEO at Informed Solutions and new advisory Board member, Elizabeth Vega OBE<\/strong> adds she senses that \u201cwe are at a significant point of inflection in society, the environment and economics. We can either get lost in the confusion, or we can work together to find the way forward\u201d she says, adding that \u201cThere is enormous respect for the leadership, values, and positive influence of the Digital Leaders Network across our industry and it has assembled a tribe of committed leaders and followers. So for me it\u2019s a real privilege to be appointed to the Digital Leaders Advisory Board\u201d.<\/p>\n
