    Leadership Deep Dive with Michał Paprocki - Group CIO at Euroclear

    Is your CIO a "Swiss Army Knife" or just a cost center? If you're still viewing IT as a back-office "black magic" shop, you're already behind. Meet Michał Paprocki, Group CIO at Euroclear and a #CIONETAwards2026 nominee, who is fundamentally redefining the role of the modern digital leader. Michał isn't just "running systems"; he's managing 35% of the total workforce and oversight of 40% of the cost base for a global settlement house moving the GDP of Belgium twice a day. How does he do it? By becoming the "Great Enabler." 🚀 The Euroclear Transformation Masterclass: D² FMI Strategy: Moving beyond traditional settlement into a "Data and Digital" powerhouse using blockchain and AI to satisfy evolving client needs. The "Obeya" Method: Implementing a visual management "cockpit" for the entire Executive Committee to ensure total transparency and strategic alignment. AI for the People: Rolling out Co-pilots to every single employee with a bold target of 20% productivity savings. Digital Native Bonds: Launching a production-grade blockchain platform that issued a €1 billion digital bond for the World Bank. 💡 Michał's Secret Sauce for Leadership: Michał recruits for two non-negotiable traits: Curiosity and Courage. As he puts it (channeling his inner Master Yoda), "You must unlearn what you have learned." In a world of generative AI and quantum leaps, complacency is the only true knockout criterion. 🏆 Witness the Future of Digital Leadership Want to hear more about how the world's top digital leaders are pivoting from infrastructure to innovation?
