Unlocking talent and enabling change | Leadership insights from Ed Alford, CTO at New Look

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’.
