Hamish Rumbold, this year's CIO of the Year award winner, joins us to reflect on his five years at Kiwibank, where he oversaw the company through major challenges from hauling legacy systems into the digital age, to facing an ever-increasing cyber threat landscape.
Rumbold is on the hunt for his next role, fuelled by the goal of adding $10 billion in value to the companies he works with.
We also touch on the performance and future of Spark and Chorus, and discuss the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov.
