Being the CTO of the city - transforming cities digitally. Vilnius example.

​Welcome to the 11th episode of Season 11 of Productized Podcast. In season, we are talking about the future of our cities. What if cities cared more about their digital products and services and treated their citizens like customers they want to retain? If the mayor would be the equivalent of the CEO, who would take the role of an eventual Chief Product Officer? More importantly, what transformations and improvements could this bring about for lives as citizens as a whole? This is the podcast where innovators, geeks, creators, and entrepreneurs, come to discuss impactful ideas.

​In this episode, André talks to Egle Radvile (LT). Egle is a Digital Futurist Angel, Author of Vilnius Digital Strategy. Egle was the CTO of Vilnius from 2018 to 2021. Currently, she is the Head of the Lithuanian CIO’s club CIO.LT, the Digital Train board & Harvard Digital Program member. Egle has a PhD in Information Engineering and Technology. Recently she graduated from Harvard's Leading Digital Innovator programme.

​Topics we will cover:

• ​What are the responsibilities of the city CTO?

• ​What does the city's digital strategy consist of?

• ​What changes happened in Vilnius from a technological perspective during Egle's term of office?

• ​What can other cities learn from Vilnius?
