It&#8217;s been quite the journey getting here. The first big leap was leaving the \u2018golden cage\u2019 as CTO at IBM to co-found Briteflo. There I really experienced how investors think and what they value. And especially how to pragmatically align a company\u2019s IT strategy to its equity story. &#x1f4c8;<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>Software \u201cis eating the world\u201d. Its flexibility and scalability have no limits. Still, as an investor, board member or CxO you have core concerns: is the\u00a0IT strategy aligned to my business plan? How do I change Artificial Intelligence\u00a0from threat into opportunity? And does the team have the\u00a0ability to execute on the plan?<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>Today, I am eager to collaborate with you to create answers to these questions. With my head in the business and my heart in technology I know what needs to be done to get people, processes and technology in shape.<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>A huge thanks to everyone who&#8217;s been part of my journey so far &#x1f64f;. Looking forward to collaborate and to share my thinking in keynotes \/ posts on what is happening at the crossroads of business and technology. There is no limit to what we can learn together!<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>So, if you&#8217;re looking for fresh, actionable IT strategy insights, let&#8217;s connect! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/denayer_itstrategy-digitaltransformation-artificialintelligence-activity-7160554466293743616-eapm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#x1f91d;&#x1f514;<\/a><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>Here&#8217;s to new challenges and opportunities! &#x1f942;<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>Wouter<\/span><\/p>\n<p>join the discussion on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/denayer_itstrategy-digitaltransformation-artificialintelligence-activity-7160554466293743616-eapm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/denayer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/announcement.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;The End is Never Near&#8221; title_text=&#8221;announcement&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is some exciting news! &#x1f31f; I am beginning a new chapter as an independent IT Strategy Advisor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3436,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ai"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/denayer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/denayer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/denayer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/denayer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/denayer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/denayer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/denayer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/denayer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/denayer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/denayer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
