difficult to instil the same level of cybersecurity understanding and culture everywhere , where people have varying backgrounds when it comes to cybersecurity knowledge .
“ We are actively working to build a global community around this issue ,” Leriche says . “ Our goal is to ensure everyone in the company is on the same page and operating with a consistent , high level of cybersecurity proficiency .”
Jye Sutton , the company ’ s Chief Technology Officer , highlights talent management and development on a global scale as a key challenge , along with ensuring consistency and standardisation across regions with differing technology maturity levels .
Rexel ’ s top priority , he explains , is maintaining stable and secure technology to support the business operations . “ From this
clear mandate , two key challenges arise . One is talent management and development on a global scale and the second is ensuring consistency and standardisation across our many regions with differing maturity levels .”
Rexel frequently acquires new companies and integrating their technologies into its standardised platforms and processes poses questions .
“ Do we merge them into our standards or do we keep them standalone ? The overarching challenge is achieving the right balance – implementing consistent global technology standards , while still allowing flexibility to meet local business requirements as needed .
“ Adapting to enable this standardisation , paired with appropriate customisation , is one of our biggest priorities today . We must get it right to move the business forward effectively worldwide .”
