That's the stuff I get quite excited about,” the CIO told the magazine in a 2010 interview.Signing a new outsourcing contract for major parts of the JLT infrastructure and processes was Cohen's initial challenge on arrival.“Ian Cohen is very entrepreneurial and fights the good fights and his turnaround of an outsourcing deal here is very good.” The panel agreed Cohen had pulled off a timely renewal of the IT strategy in a financial services provider just when it was most required and that his vision for what cloud computing and process re-engineering can do for the organisation are examples of a good transformative CIO.Read the CIO interview: JLT's Ian Cohen on splicing IT strategy with business goals JLT's Ian Cohen on rebuilding the IT setup of the insurance firm JLT's Ian Cohen on managing outsourcing relationships JLT is an international risk specialist and employee benefits organisation; one of the largest companies of its type in the world.
