Digital Transformation Leader JPAC & ASIA ex-Sanofi
I had the pleasure of attending this year’s Digital Identity Week and stepping into the role of moderator for the final session on Day 1, all sessions on Day 2, and serving as Day 2 chair. A warm thank you for the opportunity, it was a truly enriching experience. As a first-time attendee, I was genuinely impressed by the depth of engagement and expertise in the room. It’s clear that organisations are in capable hands as they navigate the acceleration of digital identity and its many dimensions. I look forward to reconnecting next year and continuing the conversation.

Absolutely loved Digital week, unfortunately could not spend as much time as I wanted, however seeing the vendors and development of tools in this area was very intriguing and providing so many opportunities to connect and partner up. Big thanks to the team for making me feel very welcome and connecting me with some strategic partners.
