Unlocking talent and enabling change | Ed Alford

For someone who professes not to have had a plan for how his leadership career might go, things have worked out well for Ed Alford. After long, successful stints as a consultant (Andersen/Accenture) (BP, where he was Global CIO and Senior VP in the Group Leadership team), in April 2021 Ed changed course entirely when he became CTO at New Look.   Senior Digital & Technology Consultant Liv Britz caught up with Ed at the Venari Partners office recently, where he discussed his experience in – and philosophy of – leadership. After getting over the urge to do everything himself, he now credits his role in various projects he oversaw as ‘allowing people to have the space where they were trusted’.   https://www.venaripartners.com/post/leadership-insights-transformation-success-humility-ed-alford-cto-new-look
