Continuous Digital Transformation 

In this weeks' episode, Ken Forster speaks with Dr. Andreas Nauerz, Managing Director, co-CEO, and CTO of Bosch IO, a global interdisciplinary expert organization driving Bosch's IoT and AIoT strategy.

Headquartered in Berlin, Bosch IO is a Bosch subsidiary created by combining the former Bosch Software Innovations GmbH with other specialized IoT and digital teams at Bosch.

Andreas has held various leadership positions in software architecture and development and acted as the head of multiple research groups. He's a recognized software architect and one of the experts in cloud and serverless computing and AI, ML, and IoT. He has studied Computer Science and Law and holds a Ph.D. in the former. He joined Bosch Corporate Research in 2019 and went on to be Vice President, head of IoT platform responsible for the development of Bosch's IoT Suite, which forms the basis on which Bosch and its customer build IoT solutions incorporating Bosch's cross-domain industry know-how and connecting millions of sensors and devices.

 

Discussion Points:

  • What would you consider to be your 'Digital Thread'?
  • You’ve been at the Venn of IT research, law, and commercial leadership. What attracted you to this Venn between these three? And what are some of the key insights you’ve seen during your almost two decades of leading such work?
  • I’ve noted how quickly you’ve risen to become Managing Director, co-CEO, and CTO of Bosch. Can you tell us a bit about this division and particularly your remit in leading it?
  • As you migrate from typical hardware or electrical producer to a leading AIoT-AI plus IoT firm, how does your company assist with this large IoT transformation?
  • What, in your opinion, are the primary challenges to Bosch and maybe some of your other customers becoming truly software-defined businesses or organizations?
  • What is your perspective of cloud and edge, and on the use of open source?
