Craig Micheal Nel
CTO at Nelbiz
With over three decades of diverse experience in the Information Systems and Technology sectors, I have consistently led transformative initiatives, beginning my career as a Software Engineer in the mid-1980s and advancing into senior management roles in high-profile technology companies and financial institutions. I have successfully launched two venture capital-backed tech startups and served on the boards of numerous leading technology firms. Currently, I specialize in helping organizations across EMEA define and accelerate their digital transformation strategies, focusing on driving innovation while navigating uncertainty. My deep expertise in security, artificial intelligence, and cloud technologies allows me to guide businesses in harnessing emerging technologies to remain resilient and competitive in the digital age. I am particularly passionate about the future potential of artificial intelligence. As a results-driven leader with strong communication skills, I thrive on building meaningful relationships with clients, empowering IT leaders to foster innovation and agile decision-making in their teams. With extensive media training and certification, I regularly contribute to online publications and television programs. Following 12 successful years at Oracle Corporation, I now serve as interim CTO at a technology consulting startup, where I continue to blend visionary leadership with practical solutions, helping organizations lead through innovation and uncertainty.
