Breaking News- My Airbus Client is named CIO of the Year!!

 

Dear colleagues,

It is with great pleasure and pride that I share with you that I was awarded the title of “CIO of the year” last Thursday in Germany.

 This title is awarded each year by the best known ICT magazines in Germany, the “Computerwoche” and “CIO Magazine”, which annually task a professional jury (recruited from very well-known German Universities) to select a “CIO of the year”, based on criteria like outstanding recent project deliverables, technical competencies, relationship management between business and ICT, visionary orientation, and influence in the organisation and leadership skills.

 As I said in my “thank you” speech when receiving the award, I consider it primarily as recognition for the work of my entire team in the last few years both at Airbus and at EADS. Without your engagement and our common successes, this would never have happened!

 I therefore would like to thank and congratulate all of you on our shared achievement. I see this as an excellent appreciation of our great teamwork and our contributions to the business!

 For additional information, see Computerwoche including a short interview with me and the brochure (in German only unfortunately).

 With warmest regards,

 Guus Dekkers

The results have been out of this world. Guss received the top engagement rating of all of EADS verified by Gallop Poll.

Guus and Susan just held their 5th summit without us and all agreed that it was the best ever. The point is that I expect my interventions to be repeated without me. I expect them to continue to get better and better as time goes on.  I have more publications and private videos for your edification. Just email me at R@Rolandsullivan.com
