ANS has promoted Kyle Hill to Chief Technology Officer (CTO), effective 1 October 2024. The move will support the tech company in advancing its AI and digitalisation strategies.

Kyle’s appointment comes shortly after ANS was named Microsoft’s UK Services Partner of the Year 2024. ANS is strategically aligned with Microsoft in its focus on helping companies get AI-ready, and Kyle will accelerate this ambition in his new role.

Since joining ANS in June 2023 as Technical Services Delivery Director, Kyle has applied over a decade of experience in technology advisory services to drive significant advancements in the company’s operations.

Kyle is one of six expert Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) at ANS, highlighting the company’s deep expertise across the Microsoft suite of solutions. He adds further to the Microsoft aptitude that ANS has built with his experience as a Microsoft Regional Director. In this role, Kyle significantly enhanced his relationship with Microsoft and deepened his proficiency in its solutions. Alongside this, the diversity of technical knowledge he has acquired from over twelve years in the tech industry across the UK and South Africa will be key in providing insightful technical value to customers.

In just a few months at ANS, Kyle has already made his mark by heading up the development of tech talent within the company. He has also broken down barriers between solution areas within the business to allow ANS to deliver more complex, multi-technology offerings, which will ultimately help customers unlock innovative AI solutions. Kyle’s commitment to shaping the digital landscape will be vital as he leads ANS in making world-class cloud and digital services accessible to all.

Richard Thompson, CEO of ANS said: “Kyle has already been invaluable to the team during his time at ANS, from delivering innovative solutions for our clients to playing a pivotal role in the development and progress of his team. I’ve no doubt that he’ll embrace this new position to drive forward our mission of creating a tech movement that everyone wants to be a part of. His passion for the value that AI can create for our customers will be instrumental in helping businesses of all sizes realise their ambitions through accessible tech.”

Kyle Hill, new CTO of ANS added: “With AI at the forefront of everyone’s minds, now is the time for all businesses to be getting AI ready and unlock its value. I’m eager to further the transformative impact ANS is already having by streamlining technology and processes to customers’ needs. I’ll be facilitating the introduction of the innovative work processes that AI brings customers, making ANS a leader in making future visions a reality today and kickstarting a revolution in business operations.”
