In this episode, we dive deep into the world of digital transformation and cloud-native architecture with Madoc Batters, Head of Cloud, Network and IT Security at Warner Hotels. Madoc shares his remarkable journey from washing 100 cars at age 11 to buy his first ZX81 computer to leading enterprise-scale cloud migrations. We explore the challenges of organizational culture change, the bold decision to migrate their most complex system first, and the importance of shifting left with security and FinOps practices. Madoc also shares insights on modern networking solutions like Alkira, the role of AI in transformation, and how his ultra-marathon mindset (including a 105-mile run) applies to pushing through digital transformation challenges. Whether you're starting your cloud journey or looking to accelerate your transformation efforts, this episode is packed with practical wisdom and inspiring leadership insights.
