Ferrovial's digital transformation - CIIO Dimitris Bountolos on building tomorrow's infrastructure

Dimitris Bountolos, CIIO of Ferrovial, points out that his job title is not a typo. The Chief Information & Innovation Officer of the construction, engineering, and infrastructure giant has a fascinating role and one that he describes with passion and enthusiasm when we meet.

Bountolos and his organization find themselves at the nexus of the physical and digital world, with digital increasing demand for new infrastructure and providing new ways to develop the backbone to business, transport, and communications.

Ferrovial builds and operates infrastructure; most recently, it completed the Silvertown Tunnel in London. Built for Transport for London, the £1 billion road project began in 2019 and saw Ferrovial work in partnership with private investors such as Aberdeen and Invesis as well as public sector stakeholders. The contract for this tunnel lasts 25 years and covers the design, construction, finance, maintenance, and operation of the tunnel.
