We WON!! Mews brought home the 2024 Tech Hero award, we had some incredible competition (ASML, Nearfield Instruments) and I am so happy to see Mews getting this amazing award from the CIO community for our drive and innovation. 🎉 We recognized the impossible challenges of hospitality 12 years ago, when we opened our first hotel and tried to get access to the API of the industry leader. All we wanted was to build an amazing guest app for our hotel, but we could not afford the huge fees they asked us to pay to get API access to their closed ecosystem. Their failure to partner with young tech companies like us, ultimately led to us building a competing product that is now 12 years later, getting recognized for our positive impact on hospitality. Guests are not excited to stand at a reception desk, seeing another human inputting their very personal data into a PC for 5 minutes. Hospitality should return to its roots of creating remarkable human interactions, and technology should enable that. That is the Mews Mission! Those early years of Mews were impossibly hard, but when you are passionate, unafraid and a little naive, everything is possible. A huge thanks to the judges who spent lots of time interviewing and stress testing us in the past couple of weeks. It means so much getting recognition from true leaders in technology. ICT Media, Rob Beijleveld (and team)

What an incredible moment at #CIODAY2024 to witness Ing Yan Ong of The HEINEKEN Company opening the Euronext Stock Exchange in Amsterdam! This symbolic act marked the completion of the Dutch CIO of the Year Award process for another year; a true celebration of how #Digital, #Tech and #AI are shaping economies and society as a whole. Standing alongside Ing Yan and so many other great leaders, I felt the power of tradition meeting innovation. The gong tradition truly resonates with the transformative impact of tech today. And it is a crucial reminder of how far we’ve come; from manual trading to digital ecosystems driven by visionary CIOs like Ing Yan. As someone passionate about celebrating leadership and tech advancements and as a member of the CIO of the Year jury committee, I’m proud to be part of an event that highlights the pivotal role of Digital and AI in driving business success and societal progress. Congratulations once again to Ing Yan and all the finalists for inspiring us with their innovation, resilience, and leadership. Here’s to a future where technology continues to open doors (and stock markets!) to new possibilities. #BCG #Euronext #Heineken #CIODAY
