Arash Rahmani

Strategic technology leader ∙ AI & Innovation enthusiast

With over a decade of international leadership experience, I excel in developing and executing IT and security strategies that enable business growth. I have a proven track record of increasing IT and security maturity, managing multidisciplinary teams, utilizing innovation and driving digital resilience in complex organizational environments.

Currently I am working as a Principal Consultant / Trusted Advisor at Sogeti (Part of Capgemini). In this role I help clients improve their digital resilience and act as an interim manager when needed.

Board member

My ancillary activities include serving as a board member of ISACA Netherlands (international professional association focused on IT Governance and Risk Management) and advising members of Dutch and EU parliament to building a secure digital future.

Bridging technology and business for strategic impact

What sets me apart is my ability to bridge the gap between technology and business. As a strategic connector and public speaker, I excel at translating complex IT and security concepts into clear, actionable insights for stakeholders. By thinking like a business leader, I ensure that security digital transformation is not viewed as an obstacle but as a driver of innovation and success.

“Never has it been more important to build a secure digital society. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence and other advances, I believe that digital transformation will have a greater impact on society in the next 5 years than it has in the past 15.”
