Hire a digital transformation lead in Greece and Cyprus

One accountable owner who takes your digital agenda from a list of intentions to systems that are live and used.

Most mid-market companies in Greece and Cyprus are not short of digital initiatives; they are short of someone who owns the whole picture. A digital transformation lead turns the scatter into one sequenced roadmap and then delivers it. What they usually inherit:

An ERP replacement scoped halfway and then left to the integrator
An e-commerce build that the vendor keeps re-quoting
Process digitisation that still lives in slides rather than in systems
An EU-funded project with a deadline and reporting rules of its own

The digital transformation leads on Hellenic Talent are elite professionals from top consultancies, Big 4 firms and senior industry roles. They have run this work where it is hardest: family businesses digitising decades of habit and portfolio companies working to an investor's timetable.

What does a digital transformation lead actually do?

Turn scattered initiatives into one sequenced roadmap the leadership signs
Run the ERP and core-system selection, from requirements to go-live
Digitise the processes that still run on paper, spreadsheets and memory
Hold vendors and integrators to scope, commercial terms and what actually ships
Keep the future users involved, so adoption is not an afterthought
Report progress as what is live, not what is planned

How to choose the right digital transformation lead

What to test in the first conversation, whoever you end up hiring.

Names what went live
Describes past programs by the systems that went live and are still in use, not by the roadmaps they drew.
Picks the first move
Asked where to start, names one initiative and the dependency behind it, such as the ERP before the e-shop.
Switched off the old process
Can name a paper or spreadsheet process they digitised, and how they made sure the old way stopped.
