Be Intelligent appoints Mike Jenkins as Chairman

Jenkins is the founder of New Zealand cloud, next-gen IT, managed services and security company, The Instillery. Be Intelligent, and The Instillery formed a partnership in 2021, leading to the opportunity for Jenkins to join Be Intelligent as the first board member.

"I am delighted to have Mike joining the Be Intelligent whānau because I know he is uniquely positioned to take our business to the next level, particularly as we look to further grow our presence beyond Aotearoa," Be Intelligent Founder and CEO Mikal Todd says.

"Mike is an experienced, knowledgeable leader within the Kiwi technology industry. His energy, fire and drive are infectious and we know that with his support, we can take our winning formula to the world," Todd adds.

"From my own experience with The Instillery, I know just how powerful and important it is to have a real-time single pane of glass view of the customer journey within the organisation and that is exactly what the team at Be Intelligent are experts in delivering for their clients across both the private and public sector globally," Jenkins says.

Jenkins notes the increase in remote working because of the pandemic, adding, "On top of that, the majority of Kiwi businesses have really struggled to get their heads around how AI and data-driven intelligence can be leveraged in their businesses to deliver measurable results in their own unique industry verticals."
