As CEO, Craig Wilson will focus on supporting growth in the UK, reinforcing the company’s position in core markets, and helping clients adopt developments in areas such as AI, digital transformation, cyber security, and next-generation business services.

The company’s leadership has highlighted his experience in the UK market and his previous performance as relevant to the role and the organisation’s future direction.
