π Hi, my name is Mark Wormgoor. I'm a tech strategist and executive coach. Over the past 30 years, I've consulted for industry leaders, led large global IT teams, and coached high-profile tech executives. Throughout my career, I've enjoyed working with renowned organizations including: Lipton, CRH, Jacobs Douwe Egberts, Accenture, Shell, ING, ABN Amro, Van Lanschot, and KLM Air France. Today, I run Tairi. We deliver tech strategy, software development, and executive coaching to tech leaders. Throughout my career, I've seen and worked for too many companies where IT is a supporting function. As AI and tech rapidly evolve, businesses that prioritize strategic tech leadership at the executive level will drive exceptional growth and impact. My mission is to place tech leadership at every boardroom table. By making technology and AI integral to strategic decision-making, we create lasting impact for business leaders, their teams, and their customers alike.
