Talking with Tech Leaders
Talking with... Alastair Rennie, CIO of Research Data Scotland
In this episode of Talking with Tech Leaders, we spend more time than usual talking through our guest’s career journey. And there’s a good reason for that: Alastair Rennie has had an incredible career – with the likes of Lockheed Martin, Student Loans Company and Wescot Credit Services.
From the very start, he worked to harness the power of data – from his post-PhD consultancy analytical work, stress-testing bus chassis, to saving countless man-hours of manual calculation with Howdens. It’s still true today, as CIO with Research Data Scotland, working on the kind of data-driven innovation that can transform services and improve wellbeing.
For anyone looking for a future at the strategic end of management, there are lots of lessons to be learned and insights to be heard. And, as usual, we also get into a few more personal questions to find out more about the person behind it all. It’s well worth a listen.
Right now, we’re making plans for series 2, so if you have any suggestions or feedback, please email host Michael Phair at michael.phair@be-it.co.uk
