Hugo de Sousa has been working in the IT world for over 15 years. He’s been involved in several Digital Transformation projects, namely in the Portuguese Justice Department. He has recently moved to Dublin, and I caught up with him to find out more about the move, and about his take on some digital issues.

How did you first get interested in Digital Transformation?
After more than 15 years working in IS/IT and approximately 2 years with startups I’ve realized that technology is not only to support business but it’s mostly to transform businesses, sectors and lives.

Another reason is the huge opportunity there is to transform medium to large organizations. All the hype is about startups and what about existing companies? When everybody wants to join a cool startup there is a huge space to occupy in existing organizations.

Another interesting thing is that typical consulting companies, especially top-tier, still don’t have the courage to be disruptive. Another opportunity to join the DX field. They need disruptive people like me 🙂
