Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of hosting partners, clients, and industry peers from across the UK at our Leaders Connect roundtable dinner, held at the historic Johnnie Walker building in Edinburgh.
Amidst lively discussion, business leaders from both sides of the border heard from former CEO of Amazon UK and former Chairman of ASOS, Brian McBride, on the digital landscape shaping business today.
Starting with observations around the scale of digitally driven disruption, Brian’s talk took in everything from the impact of COVID to Moore’s law, Darwinian evolution, and the emerging social and digital trends set to shape business in the next decade.
Brian drew on his deep personal experience, spanning the likes of IBM, Dell, Deutsche Telekom, Amazon, and Google. He also spoke candidly around the crisis that engulfed the CBI in 2023 and the lessons in crisis management businesses need to learn.
As AI continues to redefine business across the UK and beyond, our Pulsant Leaders Connect events will continue to explore the impact that the technology is having.
Robin Ferris, Enterprise Architect at Pulsant, reflected on the evening:
“What an incredible evening at Johnnie Walker Princes Street, where we hosted our exclusive Leaders Connect dinner roundtable. Bringing together clients, partners, and industry leaders, the event was a fantastic opportunity to exchange ideas and explore how emerging technologies are shaping the future of business.
“One significant highlight of the night was hearing from the legendary Brian McBride - former Chairman of ASOS and CEO of Amazon UK - who shared invaluable insights on leadership, digital transformation, and why embracing AI and data-driven innovation is essential for businesses to thrive.”
Andrew Richmond, Director Enterprise Business at Dacoll Group, echoed this sentiment:
“It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening with great discussions and a fantastic chance to catch up with our partners at Pulsant.”
