No CIO wakes up in the morning thinking about object storage .
Cloudian partners . Wright has worked on deals ranging from $ 100,000 to $ 160 million in his career , and customer centricity has always been most important . At the end of the day , no matter what career you are in , you have a client and if you take care of them you are doing alright .
What has been your most memorable career achievement ?
Taking on my first Managing Director role with Cloudian in Australia and New Zealand and expanding that role to the whole region has been an amazing journey .
What made you think of a career in technology ?
Technology is competitive . If you are not on your game in this industry , you are out . Not just in terms of you being outplayed by others , but in terms of somebody else more hungry inventing something that makes your technology irrelevant . That is true disruption .
What do you think will be a hot technology ?
Security everywhere , the concept of external and internal has gone . Having the biggest , most locked-down firewall at the edge is still important . Staff are working from
everywhere , from any device and the threats are real from all directions .
Wright thinks there will be a push for personal liability on directors to be able to show they have made reasonable efforts , and that will create meaningful change .
What are your personal interests and where do you like to spend most of your time after work ?
Wright is a family man , a husband and father of three who he cares about deeply and wants to see them grow and thrive in a changing world . He loves doing activities and sports together and that has helped him keep golf in his life , as well as baseball . Wright loves trying new things and meeting new people . •
