Deloitte Finland Tech Talks: "My only priority is to move the EBIT needle significantly" | Hannele Palje-Rossi, Timo Perkola & Felipe Piccirilo

AI has put technology leadership at the center of every boardroom conversation. But is the CIO role ready for what comes next?

In this episode of Deloitte Finland's Tech Talk Podcast, host Felipe Piccirilo is joined by Hannele Palje-Rossi, CIO of Stora Enso and Timo Perkola, Managing Partner at Deloitte to discuss how technology leaders are navigating the biggest shift in their role in decades.

Together, they explore the "dual mandate" facing today's CIOs: balancing deep technical expertise with enterprise-wide leadership, while driving measurable business outcomes from AI and digital transformation. The discussion covers AI investment and value realization, operating model redesign, technology governance, cybersecurity and resilience, talent and skills, ecosystem collaboration, and the growing need for technology leaders to shape business strategy, not just technology decisions.
