Computing is all about the IT leader - whether that's the CIO, CTO, IT director, chief architect or any one of dozens of other titles. Having spoken to hundreds of IT leaders over the last 12 months and beyond, we feel well qualified to produce the definitive rankings for the top 100 IT leaders in the UK.

To produce this list we took into account factors like size of organisation, size of department, annual budget, duration in role and level of transformation achieved. Then, in consultation with industry experts, we undertook the incredibly challenging task of producing the final list - a task which became ever trickier the closer to the top we got.

Do you feel that you should be on this list? Should you be placed higher? Then contact the editorial team, we'll arrange an interview and next year, it could be you sitting at the top.

    Martin Davies

    CIO, Bet365

    Davies has taken a different approach to many other CIOs - he's not interested in 'fasionable' technologies or ways of working including DevOps, BYOD and cloud computing. "One of the biggest problems with IT is that it is very fashion driven... we're in a world now where we are getting a lot of flip-flopping from one thing to another. It's almost like if Captain Kirk's Enterprise gets shot by a torpedo and he just runs from one side of the bridge to another, because he's following the latest trends," he told Computing.

    Thierry Bedos

    CIO, Hotels.com

    "Making sure the experience between the mobile device and the desktop is joined up" forms one of the key marks of success for Bedos, something which he's achieved at Hotels.com. By using mobile and big data technology, Hotels.com users are able to pick up from where they left off any time they return to the site. And returning, they most definitely are, of the figure of 35 million app downloads is anything to go by.
