Event Overview
Devex hosted this conversation with Atefeh Riazi, the United Nations Chief Information Technology Officer (CIO), Assistant Secretary-General, Office of Information and Communications Technology, live from the UN Secretariat in New York. Atefeh provided insight into current trends in digital disruption and what it means for international organizations, specifically for CIOs as they’ve have had to adapt their work to new data and technologies in a changing landscape.
In addition to Atefeh, we heard from leading voices in the UN CIO network including Doug Greene, CIO and Director at UNHCR and Daniel Couture, CIO at UNICEF, who contributed their experiences and perspectives on a changing technological landscape.
This conversation is part of a series of Devex events aimed to address a growing need within the global development community for direct dialogue with policy makers to better understand a changing and complex development ecosystem.
