KEYNOTE: In conversation with Jacky Wright: The choices behind a career built at the highest levels of global tech

14 Oct 2026
THEATRE 1
Jacky Wright has led technology at a scale few others have. She served as Chief Digital Officer at bp through one of its biggest crises, transformed HMRC's tax systems as Chief Digital and Information Officer, and drove McKinsey's global AI strategy across 45,000 people as Chief Technology and Platform Officer. She has spent three decades operating at the highest levels of global business, with an approach centred on trust and giving people real autonomy, while staying close enough to step in when it matters. This conversation explores the decisions that shaped her career, what she's learned about creating impact once you've reached the top, and what she's doing now to make that same climb easier for others.
