Wear your Heart on your Sleeve with Rich Corbridge

Rich Corbridge is the Chief Information Officer at Boots; a massive health retailer and pharmacy chain. With over 2,500 stores across six countries, 55,000 employees and revenues of £6.5Bn, it’s a pretty big deal. Rich’s job is to harness the power of technology to support business change and transformation. 

He is not your traditional, stereotypical technology leader. Not at all.  His are stories of passion, of courage … of people. 

He shares how a story was so powerful, it inspired him to announce a £1Million innovation programme - in front of a massive audience of leaders - without asking permission

He explains how the temptation of cool technology nearly scuppered a massive transformation programme… and how good old fashioned TLC saved the day
