In this episode, I’m joined by Jaap van Arragon, Head of Cloud Delivery at Capgemini.

We explore a topic that has quickly moved from niche discussions to the boardroom: sovereign cloud — and what it really means in practice.

What to expect:

👉What “sovereign cloud” truly means beyond the buzzwords

👉Why it has become a strategic priority for organizations

👉Whether organizations are driven by compliance or strategic choice

👉Why there is no one-size-fits-all approach

👉The first practical steps to start your sovereign cloud journey

👉How sovereign cloud evolved from a policy topic to a board-level concern

👉How to balance sovereignty with innovation

👉And where the topic of digital sovereignty is heading in the coming years


💡 What stood out to me: sovereign cloud is no longer just about compliance or regulation — it’s becoming a key design principle for how organizations structure their digital future.
