NTT DATA UK loses CEO

Posted on March 25, 2022 by - Moving People, News

NTT DATA UK announced that its current CEO, Simon Williams, will be exiting the business.

Williams has led NTT DATA UK for the past five years, more than doubling the size of the business and increasing its profitability by a factor of 10. He will remain as the CEO of NTT DATA UK until 31 March 2022.

Williams’ involvement with NTT DATA dates back to 2011 when the IT services provider acquired his former business, Value Team. He then went on to become Head of Telco, Media and Technology for NTT DATA UK and helped to create NTT DATA Digital, before becoming CEO of the organisation in 2017.

NTT DATA UK partners with route2work

Posted on July 13, 2021 by - News

NTT DATA UK has announced a new partnership with route2work as part of its ongoing Diversity & Inclusion work to improve the number of women working in technology roles.

Route2work is a social impact business focused on getting undiscovered talent into work, or accelerating the careers of those already in employment, by offering world-class digitised educational content and career-based outcomes.

The partnership will see NTT DATA UK fund a scholarship programme for 30 female candidates, enabling them to enrol onto one of four digital skills academies focused on in-demand Microsoft skills. The opportunity is subject to passing the relevant skills assessment and meeting enrolment criteria but does not demand the traditional CVs and cover letters usually required by the industry.

Women are still notably under-represented in the tech industry compared to men. In the UK alone, the national tech workforce shows that women make up a just 19 percent – this figure drops to three percent for black women and and five percent for Asian women.
