We are excited to announce the latest in our series of talks on Digital Transformation, in partnership with Silverstripe.

María Inés Baque will be joining us online from Argentina to share her expert insights and experiences on the key goals, capabilities, opportunities and challenges for government digital transformation - with a range of use cases from around Latin America.

María Inés Baque is Government Transformation Advisor for Latin America, Canada, and the Caribbean (LCC) at AWS. She served as secretary of digital government and technology innovation in Argentina from 2016 to 2019. She coordinated the Digital Agenda 2030 and led the transformational efforts in the areas of digital services, digital inclusion, open government, open data and new technologies adoption.

Global awards and recognitions she has received include Innovation Lab, Tel Aviv, 20 exceptional GovTech Leaders (2020), Women Corporate Directors 2019 and The 100 Most Influential People in Digital Government, Apolitical, 2018.

She was co-chair of the G20 Digital Economy Taskforce for Gender Inclusion in 2018 that issued the Bridging the Digital Gender Divide report.

Before government, her career was in global IT and financial services enterprises. She focused on process reengineering, startups, IT management, outsourcing and business process operations.

You may attend in person at the MBIE offices (limited to 40 people - there will be some food courtesy of Silverstripe), or you may tune in online via Microsoft Teams (the link will be at the bottom of your order confirmation email). If you choose to attend in person please arrive at 11.50am so there is time for you to sign in, pick up some food, and be seated before we begin. There will be time for questions after the presentation.
