Olympics Tech Managers Brace for the Test
Just as an athlete who has achieved success at the Commonwealth Games would grasp the opportunity to take on the wider world at the Olympics, so is it with Gerry Pennell, CIO for the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (Locog).
Director of technology when the Commonwealth sporting festival was held in Manchester in 2002, Pennell picked up the London Olympic technology torch in 2008.
The Manchester velodrome, built for those games, has gone on to become the home base of Britain's successful cycling team, and fittingly CIO met with Pennell at the Olympic Park velodrome in Newham, east London.
