Across these roles, he has worked with clients including Centrica, Bank of Ireland, Discover, The FA, Aston Martin F1, Caterpillar, and Electrolux to name a few. In his most recent role at Cognizant, he was focused on business development across a broad range of industries, including media, sports, technology, utilities, energy, and manufacturing, working with well-known brands in the UK and globally. McGuinness has a customer experience focused background, enabling him to bring a unique perspective of looking at technology with a customer first viewpoint.

Ciaran McGuinness, Client Partner, said: “Right now is an exciting time in the company’s journey, and I’m pleased to have the opportunity to build something great in the Irish market with the backing of a global powerhouse. I am impressed with the scale, values, ethos and support that NTT DATA UK&I offers to both employees and clients. Having experienced some of the innovative technologies we’re leading the way with such as smart cities, blockchain, 5G networks and satellite tech, I’m excited to start bringing these, and more to Irish clients.”
