Beyond The Tech

In this episode of Beyond the Tech, Bryan and Alex sit down with Darrell Stein, a seasoned technology executive with an extraordinary career spanning major companies like E&Y, Vodafone, Marks & Spencer, and Reckitt Benckiser. Darrell shares his career journey from his early days through to his experience as a global CIO and latterly his transition into the private equity space, where his hands-on, no-excuses approach has been instrumental in driving growth and value creation.

Darrell expands on his bold decision-making style, including his move to cut contractor reliance at Marks & Spencer and the strategic shift from Amazon’s platform to a custom-built solution. He also discusses the importance of taking big bets, staying hands-on, and the critical balance between leadership and operational focus.

Whether you’re an aspiring leader keen to understand the importance of bold decision-making, a CIO navigating the complexities of the tech world, or looking to make the transition from a large corporate environment to private equity, this episode is for you!
