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: an ERP replacement half-scoped, an e-commerce build a vendor keeps re-quoting, process digitisation that lives in slides. A digital transformation lead turns that scatter into a sequenced roadmap and then delivers it, keeping vendors honest and the business engaged along the way.

The digital transformation leads on Hellenic Talent come 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, portfolio companies working to an investor timetable, and EU-funded programs with their own reporting logic.

What does a digital transformation lead actually do?

Turn scattered initiatives into one sequenced roadmap the leadership signs
Run ERP and core-system selections and replacements, from requirements to go-live
Digitise the processes that still run on paper, spreadsheets, and memory
Build e-commerce and digital channels that fit how the company really sells
Manage vendors and integrators: scope, commercial terms, and what actually ships
Keep the future users involved, so adoption is not an afterthought
Report progress in terms of what is live, not what is planned
