Antonio Peña de la Rosa — Global Industrial CIO
Why Industrial CIOs

Three mandates.
One executive.

Industrial companies don't need a technologist who learns the business. They need a business leader who controls the technology.

01
Keep operations running. No matter what.
Cyber resilience, OT/IT continuity and supply chain integrity across multi-site industrial operations. Downtime is never just an IT problem — it's a P&L event.
NIS2 · ENS · ISO 27001 · OT Sec
02
Integrate acquisitions without losing momentum.
End-to-end M&A technology leadership: due diligence, TSA management, ERP integration, identity and post-close business continuity. Fast, controlled, zero surprises.
M&A · ERP · Carve-out · TSA
03
Turn the factory floor into a competitive asset.
SCADA, MES, traceability and operational analytics connected to P&L. Technology that plant managers adopt — because it solves their problems, not ours.

From day one

The 90-day plan
that delivers real signal.

1
Listen, map and stress-test
Understand the business first. Map critical systems, contracts, cyber posture, team capacity and the three things keeping operations leaders up at night.
2
Kill noise. Fund leverage.
Prioritise with surgical discipline. Cancel what doesn't move the needle. Accelerate what protects margin or enables the next acquisition.
3
Set the architecture standard
Define the global/local model for ERP, data, cybersecurity and OT. Documented, agreed and actionable — not a 200-slide deck.
4
Make it visible to the board
CEO-level reporting: KPIs that matter, risks that are real, investment logic a CFO can defend. Governance without bureaucracy.

The best CIOs don't talk about technology.
They talk about what happens when it fails.
