From her role as CIO at ONVZ, Anna Chernilovskaya approaches technology through the principle of ‘fair IT’: technology that is used sustainably, responsibly and fairly.

Technology can make a significant contribution, but only when organisations also consider the people who work with it and its broader impact on society.

Collaboration and knowledge sharing also play an important role. According to Anna Chernilovskaya, major societal and technological challenges cannot be solved by a single organisation. Cooperation between organisations, academia and government is therefore becoming increasingly important. Within CIO Platform Nederland, Anna Chernilovskaya also values sharing knowledge, experiences and practical examples with fellow CIOs.

By bringing people along and working together, true and sustainable progress can be achieved.
