Topic
As IT executive you have certainly dealt (or are currently dealing) with the misconception of other departments that IT is simply a tech-support function rather than a value driver. At least, Petra Volckaert, VP Digital Partner Taste, Texture and Health at dsm-firmenich has: the lack of visibility of the IT department hindered its recognition as a value-creating entity. Therefore, Petra has taken this challenge head-on, striving to foster a more robust digital culture within the company.
