Jonathan Shough, CIO of Parexel, joins us to talk about leading data modernization in one of the world’s most regulated industries. He shares how compliance can be reframed as an enabler, not a blocker—and why it’s critical to deliver value to patients, not just platforms. We get into Parexel’s pragmatic approach to AI adoption, the role of human interaction in digital transformation, and what it really means to modernize data infrastructure without breaking what works.

If you’re balancing transformation with trust—or just trying to give your teams back their Fridays—this one’s for you.
