CIO of the Year
CIO of the Year sounds the gong
Hylke Sprangers (48) is technology leader of Talpa Network and has recently been named the winner of the CIO of the Year Award 2018. In honor of this he opened trading at the Amsterdam exchange.
About Talpa Network
Talpa Network conceives and produces content for TV, radio, e-commerce, digital internet platforms and social media. Technology is the driving force behind innovation, organized in one large central Talpa technology unit that works across all business units. Four different teams are active in this:
- Broadcast & Production
- Digital (all digital platforms)
- Central Team (for core platforms and data)
- Internal IT
Hylke can now call himself the best chief information officer of the Netherlands. He owes the award to his crucial role in the digital development of media and entertainment company Talpa Network.
Rob Beijleveld, CEO of ICT Media and initiator of the CIO of the Year Award, finds Sprangers a shining example in the digital world. “He knows how to successfully compete with media groups worldwide with a relatively small club!” The other members of the jury were also very positive about the winner.
