Gerry Pennell, CIO at London Organising Comittee for the Olympic Games, interviewed by Daniel Erasmus during CIO CITY.

In November 2008, Gerry joined LOCOG as CIO responsible for the management and delivery of all the IT and telecommunications required to stage the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

“CIO and IT department should stop being defensive and not be afraid. Not to be separate but think integrated. A key quality to have is to be authentic.”
