CIO, board advisor, and global IT leader Steve O’Donnell joins The Tech

Ledger to talk about life after billion-pound estates. From being let

down by Google’s weather AI to building data centres in the desert,

Steve shares how fractional leadership cuts through politics, why

continuous learning matters, and what it really takes to break into NED

roles. Plus: renaissance thinking, blunt honesty, and a few very

Scottish jokes.
