A Boom in Technology Demand

The global Pandemic drove us towards a more flexible, more technology lead workforce and this has been continued even as the worst of the Covid19 crisis recedes as workers demanded more control over their time and place of work. The technology industry is a key enabler and is enjoying a boom in demand as a result.

The world of work has shifted significantly in the past 3 years, whilst it was already on a trajectory of a more flexible, task focused workforce with swarming of resources on specific projects, the shock of the pandemic has significantly accelerated that journey.

“Build back better” applies to the world of work as much as it does the environment and as businesses re-opened they have done so differently, with a heavy reliance on technology as an enabler.

More than ever, work is an activity, not a place and jobs that don’t need people to be physically located together are being distributed to remote workers. This has put renewed emphasis on the need for Cyber Security, collaborative working and connectivity.

We are seeing some technology clients grow at unprecedented rates in these areas and they recognise that to succeed and grow, more than ever, they need the most effective leaders, with a different set of skills than in 2019.

Industry Sub-Sectors

MacKenzie Cameron's leadership team has direct experience of executive leadership in telecoms, our MD, Mike Ritchie-Cox personally lead sales & marketing teams in UK, New Zealand and Qatar for Vodafone for 16 years.

SaaS

Cyber-Security

Balancing the compromises best suited for your circumstances ensures the best candidate is found to increase cyber-security capabilities among your board. A CISO candidate is most likely to have the technical depth necessary, but might have limited boardroom exposure; whereas the CEO of a cyber-security business may have both board and technology leadership experience, but less exposure to frontline technical issues.

Digital Transformation

Nearly every organisation is, by now, somewhere on the path of digital transformation. Where exactly you are on that journey may differ widely depending on the stage of your business and industry. We have partnered with clients in the digital transformation space since this epoch began, helping some of the most disruptive businesses find the talent and leadership they need to scale.
