Manchester-based CTS has made two Chief Technology Officer appointments as part of a strategic move to support the changing needs of business.
The role has been divided in two with Oliver Van Goethem becoming CTO of its Google Cloud Data and Infrastructure practice, while Stuart Cummings will be CTO of Work Transformation.
Van Goethem joins from Google Cloud, while Cummings has been promoted from Head of Presales.
“Lockdown has completely altered how organisations work day-to-day and businesses are reviewing their tech strategies as a result,” explained Tom Ray, Managing Director of CTS.
“But it’s important to recognise the IT strategy of every business is different too. Some companies are being driven by data and are looking to utilise machine learning to enhance their operations – which is where Google Cloud is so beneficial, and the CTO of our Data and Infrastructure practice will become crucial.

He was a wheelchair user and was the first wheelchair user on the new platform which made his day. In his words, Wrexham is the name!

Every home match was on the Kop, followed by the family section of the Mold Road Stand, along with his family and friends. He was everyone’s friend and will be sadly missed.
