*Watch now*: View from the Top - Atos UK&I's new CEO Michael Herron

In this week's inaugural "View from the Top" podcast series from TechMarketView, our Chief Analyst, Georgina O’Toole, sits down with Michael Herron, the newly appointed CEO of Atos UK&I, for a candid conversation about taking on one of the most challenging leadership roles in the UK tech sector.

Many industry watchers raised their eyebrows when Herron left CGI to take the helm at Atos during a period of significant turbulence for the company. In this revealing interview, he explains why he was keen to take on the challenge, points to signs of a rebound, and outlines his vision for the future of Atos UK&I.

The discussion covers impressive recent performance indicators – including a strong Group book-to-bill – and explores how the UK business has maintained remarkably strong client satisfaction and employee retention metrics despite the turbulence of recent years.

Herron shares how the "One Atos" strategy will impact the UK&I business in 2025, emphasising simplification, regional focus, and fixing the foundations for future growth.

Perhaps most compelling are the customer success stories Herron highlights across digital workplace, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and data & AI services – demonstrating that beneath the corporate restructuring headlines lies a business still delivering critical technology services to major clients.

The interview concludes with a lightning round that reveals some surprising personal insights about the new CEO's leadership style and life outside the boardroom.
