Nino Messaoud, CDO of Barry-Wehmiller – Self-disruption, ecosystems and the future

No one, independent of the size or the market background will survive in the future without strong collaborations.
– Nino Messaoud

In the 5th episode of Leadership Deep Dive, Hendrik talks to Nino Messaoud, CDO of manufacturing company Barry-Wehmiller. This conversation is a must-watch if you needed inspiration on how a CIO or CDO can disrupt not only the status quo of their industry, but even their own mindset – and do it continuously.

Nino has a very direct way of talking about questioning everything, about authentic leadership, being realistic regarding your own market position, as well as his personal approach to work-life balance, human relations and life values in general.

Nino has 27 years of experience in managing IT at national and international level. As CIO, his driving force is developing, creating and implementing new / old digital business models to show that IT can do so much more than only being a cost center. He has worked in various industries, from diamonds and furniture to machine manufacturing. Nino is also one of the German finalists of this year’s ECOTY Awards.
