my time at Accenture I’ve held so many
different roles across different indus-
tries and programmes – Accenture’s
positioning and strengths have given
me the opportunity to lead programmes
that would not have been possible with
other companies in terms of scale and
complexity,” Chauffard explains. Working
across all five continents, his position
always focused on infrastructure in
some form, which he combines with
Accenture’s cloud agenda in his current
role, taken on in September 2018. “It’s
been exciting, and as long as it stays ex-
citing, I’m in the right place,” he enthuses.
In the world of technological innova-
tion and digital transformation, change
appears constant and blindingly fast.
Chauffard, however, is in a perfect
position to observe the slower, more
tectonic transformations occurring
beneath the surface. This big picture
perspective gives him valuable insight
into the key strategic enablers of a suc-
cessful cloud migration, and the ways
in which the digital infrastructure indus-
try is maturing to a point where evolu-
tion in support of value realization,
not revolution for technology’s sake,
is the mantra for progress.CLICK TO WATCH: ‘TECH VISION 2019: OVERVIEW’
