Martin Nyhuus

Martin Nyhuus

CIO, DP World, Marine Services

Martin Nyhuus is CIO at DP World Marine Services, responsible for technology and digital transformation across a portfolio of global shipping and logistics businesses.

Martin challenges many of the assumptions that dominate digital transformation. He argues that it is up to the technology organisation to cross the bridge - taking ownership of shaping a better digital future and bringing the business with it - rather than expecting the business to initiate the change. In his role, he leads transformation in a global conglomerate, driving clarity and momentum across diverse stakeholders around a shared digital agenda.

As a speaker, Martin shares unfiltered lessons from large-scale transformations under real commercial pressure. He speaks about why getting the basics right for AI matters far more than chasing the next use case.
