Meet Stuart McDonagh — Leading with Integrity in a Data-Driven, AI-Powered World
Stuart McDonagh, a seasoned COO, CDO, CIO, and advisor, has led digital-first transformations across industries in both the public and private sectors. With a career that began in finance and evolved through consultancy and IT leadership, Stuart’s path reflects resilience, adaptability, and a people-first vision.
On The Executive Outlook, Stuart explains why technology alone doesn’t guarantee success. For him, lasting impact comes from trust, transparency, and ensuring that AI and data-driven solutions are built on strong foundations of integrity, compliance, and security.
Stuart’s leadership philosophy is rooted in meritocracy and openness. He believes the best technology means little without team buy-in and engagement. His experiences show that broken promises damage morale, while honesty and recognition sustain growth and loyalty.
For Stuart, the future of AI and leadership is clear: focus on people, strengthen your data, and think long-term. As he puts it, “You can have the best technology in the world, but if you don’t take your people with you, you’re going to struggle.”
