Winners of global awards “DX Inspire Awards” from Pakistan in previous editions at The World CIO 200 Summit – Global Edition in UAE

In every year edition Out of the Top 200 CIOs, 20 are able to win the DX inspire awards which included Pakistani winners in previous editions. This is indeed a moment of pride for Pakistan that capable CIOs are not only available in the private sector but also the public sector to lead the digital transformation journey for their organizations.

Digital Transformation does not necessarily mean the technological transformation that an organization embarks upon, it takes a whole lot more. When an organization, all its departments together, walks towards a single goal by unifying all its people and processes that is when it truly realizes the potential of a ‘Digital’ organizations.

This unique platform grows IT leaders, speaks with one voice on issues facing CIOs, and builds a vendor-neutral community for safe exchange of ideas and best practices. We look forward for even more participation in coming years.” Muhammad Umer Khokhar (Loco Services)
