Welcome & Opening Remarks From EDS

OPENING PANEL: Strategic Right-Sourcing in 2026: Balancing Internal Capability, External Partners and Risk Ownership

  • Sara Mehrabi
    VP, Data, Analytics & Decision Intelligence COWI
  • Sauli Hurnanen
    Head of Digital Product Delivery Denmark Everllence
  • Gry Lagerqvist
    SVP Development Director, Banking Technology Nykredit
  • Mads Jung Johansen
    Director, Head of Technology Products Falck

As cost pressures, cyber risk, and sovereignty rise up the board agenda, right-sourcing has become a strategic leadership decision, not just an operational one. Technology leaders are increasingly accountable for defining what capabilities must be owned in-house, where external partners add value, and how to avoid the costly cycle of outsource, reverse, and repeat. This session will explore how senior technology leaders can design sourcing models that balance control, capability maturity, resilience, and long-term value.

Discussion Points:
• What capabilities should be driven in-house vs. external, to maintain control, innovation and security?
• How do leaders mitigate risk, govern exposure, and ensure accountability across different sourcing models.
• Creating flexible, long-term strategies that survive leadership change and evolving business priorities.

This interactive forum brings together senior IT, security and GRC leaders to share practical lessons and challenges, while giving the audience a chance to ask questions and explore solutions for embedding regulatory requirements into governance, technology, and supply chain operations.

Discussion Points:

Starting from Scratch: How Carlsberg's Security Engineering Team Changed the Game

  • Jason Harle
    Director, Security Engineering Carlsberg Group

Building a modern security engineering function from the ground up requires more than new tools — it demands vision, cultural change, and technical precision. This session explores how Carlsberg’s Security Engineering team established a scalable, engineering-led security model designed to proactively reduce risk and embed resilience across the enterprise. From defining core capabilities and securing executive buy-in to integrating security into DevOps and cloud environments, this discussion will share practical lessons on transforming security from a reactive control function into a strategic business enabler.

Quantum-Safe Trust: Turning Telco Infrastructure Into Customer-Ready Security

  • Maria Christiansen
    Head of Applied AI, Digital Transformation TDC NET

Rising geopolitical tension and nation state threats are turning telecommunications infrastructure into a primary security target. In this talk, we share how TDC NET is operationalizing quantum safe technologies to protect critical connectivity, moving from controlled lab experiments to customer ready security services. We discuss how we think about quantum risk today, why infrastructure matters, and what CISOs must prepare for as trust, resilience, and cryptography are fundamentally reshaped.

LUNCH & 1:1 Xchange

Quick Tech Tale: Technology is The Business Model

  • Eri Kejser
    Global CISO Semco Maritime

Many companies still talk about IT as a support function. In reality, software, data, and digital platforms are increasingly part of the product, the customer experience, and the revenue model. This session explores what it means when IT becomes the business and how that shift affects strategy, skills, integration, security, and even geopolitical risk.

Innovation Through Collaboration

Quick Tech Tale: Tech, People, Impact: Engineering the Right Team Mix

  • Martina Zrimsek
    Head of Analytics & Insights GN Group

In many organizations, data and analytics teams are still built around narrow technical roles, while the real value lies in how well technology is understood, adopted, and scaled by the business. As data and AI become core to enterprise value creation, the data leaders can’t ignore the shifting balance where analytics, coding and insights creation are being anchored in all levels of enterprise. The session will examine how to analyse and orchestrate the right mix of capabilities to support data democratization, self-service and technical literacy, all in parallel to upskilling, agility, strong innovation demands and culture the team itself needs. The result? “Full spectrum” teams that operate at the intersection of IT and the business, through a practical blueprint for re-balancing roles, embedding enablement into delivery, and establishing operating models that strengthen collaboration with the business while maintaining execution discipline and control.
