Nina Simosko
CEO & CRO; former President & CEO of NTT i3, Nike global technology leader and SAP Senior Vice President. Writes The Growth Mandate — on when technology investment becomes profitable growth.
Nina Simosko writes The Growth Mandate, sapperment's column on Technology-Led Growth — the executive connection between technology investment, customer outcomes and profitable growth.
She has led that connection from every seat that matters: as President & CEO of NTT Innovation Institute (NTT i3), NTT Group's Silicon Valley innovation company; leading Nike's global technology strategy, planning and operations; and across eight years in senior leadership at SAP, where she served as Senior Vice President of the Global Premier Customer Network and, as Global COO of SAP's worldwide Customer Education organization, was responsible for more than half a billion euros in software and services revenue. Today she works as Chief Revenue Officer at CYPHER Learning and serves as a board and investor partner. The Silicon Valley Business Journal named her to its Women of Influence list.
Her column — The Growth Mandate
When does technology transformation become a growth strategy rather than a cost programme? The Growth Mandate examines the leadership decisions behind that line: who owns the customer journey, how investment priorities connect to revenue and operational performance, and which measures show technology creating sustainable value rather than additional activity.
First article: When Does Technology Transformation Become a Growth Strategy Rather Than a Cost Program? — the dividing line, the board questions, and the test that strips away the language.
