About Michiel de van der Schueren
Since Trump’s inauguration, Digital Sovereignty has been high on the agenda in many boardrooms. Is our data still safe in the hands of American tech companies? Are we still ‘in control’ or could Trump, with the push of a button, deny us access to our data?
In his book and during his presentation, Michiel adds nuance to the discourse that has arisen around this topic and provides the knowledge necessary to make the best decisions in times of geopolitical tensions with the right arguments.
As co-founder and managing director of a hosting company and an independent cloud consulting firm, Michiel de van der Schueren has built extensive knowledge and experience in the field of cloud and Digital Transformation. He has taught at various organizations to inspire and advise on this subject. With this book on Digital Sovereignty, he exposes our vulnerability regarding IT technology and shows that the Netherlands not only needs a digitization strategy but urgently requires a Digital Transformation and that there is a pressing need for a European Sovereign Hyperscaler, where the Netherlands and Europe can establish their digital infrastructure.
Digital Sovereignty is too important to leave to the IT department. It is a matter of the highest order for the executives, who must delve into the how and why of their IT environment to weigh the risks between the importance of innovation versus the importance of control and legal and governance oversight.
