Robert (Dr Bob) Engels — CTO
That's quite a bunch of titles and abbreviations, sorry for that. It's probably what you collect when being occupied over years with things you enjoy and like to do. For me the CTIO title brings that together, with Innovation at the front, but where would Innovation be without Technology. And as we increasingly understand: technology and innovation are depending on information. And if you have no data, what do you base information on? But also: if you have data, but cannot abstract from it, relate it to models of the world and how everything is related, what can you then reach? What are the limits? Or should you aim higher? (no need to say I think we should ;-) The role of Vice President and CTIO for AI in our great Global Business Line Insights and Data, with a focus on Innovation for and with Artificial intelligence, Contextual Knowledge and Sustainability is really about combining a lifelong interest in Psychology, Computer Science, Business Economics and: Agroforestry & Agriculture. When technology meets people the fun starts, and that's where I´d want to be. Utilizing, explaining, producing and creating scenario's, solutions and understanding for new challenges and situations where AI & ML come around the corner.
