Jan Verplancke

摘要

Chief information officers are busy people, each has their own style and method of management, their own levels of energy. Jan Verplancke, CIO at Standard Chartered, takes this into a league of his own - busy seems an understatement. On our third rearrangement for an interview, I eventually get to talk to him - albeit in the back of a cab on the way to the airport. Despite a schedule that appears to involve international travel at least twice a day, he seems neither tired nor preoccupied. Quite the opposite, as he enthusiastically launches into the "big picture" as he sees it — having worked in a number of industries, he is in a good position to compare and contrast banking with others.
