Digital Transformation Demystified
Staying up-to-date on the latest digital transformation (DX), RPA, intelligent automation and enterprise data trends can be exhausting.

To help you break through the noise, we curated this list of the top 11 influencers in the digital transformation space. While some of these individuals are well-established names, others are on the rise. Our goal was to create a well-rounded list that incorporated a mix of tech visionaries, pragmatic operational perspectives, digital leadership experts and editorial POVs. We hope you enjoy and tell us what you think via LinkedIN or @AiiA_Network.
