Logicalis' VP of Global Alliances, Anita Swann, shares her perspectives on the future of tech and the importance of encouraging more people to enter the industry.

Leadership is often perceived as guiding a team toward success, making critical decisions, and ensuring smooth operations. However, in my experience, leadership is much more than that. It’s about learning, adapting, and taking responsibility—not just for yourself but for the team as a whole.

Leading the charge in sustainability not only benefits the planet but also affects people and profits, aligning with the concept of the triple bottom line. This mindset is not exclusive to IT; anyone, from plumbers to software developers, can adopt a more sustainable mindset to minimise environmental impact.

Technology is a cornerstone of the modern world, yet the industry remains dominated by men, with women only making up a fraction of overall leadership positions. The question is, how can technology truly serve everyone if half the population it serves are underrepresented in shaping its future?

Technology partnerships are essential in this evolving landscape. While many CIOs believe vendors understand their business needs, 59% find vendor solutions are too complex to manage effectively.

The increasing intersection of environmental sustainability and business performance has led to 91% of organisations surveyd in the Logicalis CIO Report 2025 reporting that they have experienced financial benefits form adopting environmental technologies.
