Being a Digital Leader - the Good, Bad AND Ugly of Digital Transformation
The Telegraph's digital evolution
What happens when centuries of tradition collide with rapid technological change? In this episode, we sit down with Toby Wright, Group Chief Technology Officer at the Telegraph Media Group, who shares his remarkable 18-year journey steering one of Britain's most venerable news organisations through waves of digital disruption.
Toby's story begins unconventionally—working free night shifts at Intel as a teenager before climbing through the tech ranks. His candid reflections on experiencing heart failure at his desk in 2014 provide a powerful wake-up call about work-life balance in high-pressure technology roles. "Whenever your children know the names of all your staff because they're always ringing you up in the middle of the night—that's a really bad idea," he reflects, offering hard-earned wisdom about sustainable leadership.
Whether you're navigating digital transformation in your own organisation or simply curious about how established institutions adapt to change, Toby's practical wisdom and forthright observations offer valuable perspective on balancing innovation with integrity.
