Casagranda has been CIO at Cigna New Zealand for nearly three-and-a-half years, stepping up from national IT manager, when she stepped up to become Asia Pacific CIO.

“Technology is moving so quickly,” she says, “so be open to new ideas and building things in a way that are [of] robust quality, scalable, and completely uncoupled.”
“Managing complex change is inevitable across all sectors of business today and across all business units delivering the company’s products and services,” she says.
