Dr Michael Bonne, Director of Transformation and Technology at the Association for Project Management (APM), has been appointed Digital, Technology and Cyber Security Trustee at the College of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare (CoSRH), reinforcing the growing importance of digital governance and cyber resilience within professional membership organisations.
The appointment will see Dr Bonne join the College’s Board of Trustees, where he will provide strategic oversight of digital transformation, technology investment, cyber security and data governance as the organisation continues to expand its digital services for healthcare professionals.
His new role reflects a wider trend across professional bodies and healthcare organisations as they seek to balance digital innovation with robust governance, regulatory compliance and information security.
Supporting digital transformation
As Digital, Technology and Cyber Security Trustee, Dr Bonne will advise the Board on technology strategy, digital investment and cyber resilience while helping assess the opportunities and risks presented by emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and automation.
The role also includes oversight of data governance, procurement, compliance and the ethical application of digital technologies.
CoSRH supports professionals working across sexual and reproductive healthcare through clinical guidance, qualifications, education and professional development, making secure and reliable digital services increasingly central to its operations.
Dr Bonne said he was looking forward to contributing to the organisation’s future direction.
“I’m delighted to have been appointed as a Trustee at CoSRH. It’s an organisation that plays a vital role in setting clinical standards, supporting professionals and ultimately improving outcomes in sexual and reproductive health, and I’m very pleased to be able to contribute to its mission.
“Digital technology has an increasingly important role to play in how professional bodies support their members, safeguard information and deliver accessible, responsive services. I’m looking forward to working with the Board and wider team to help shape the future direction of the College.”
Bringing transformation leadership
At APM, Dr Bonne leads the organisation’s transformation and technology function, overseeing digital services, infrastructure, data management and cyber security to support the institution’s long-term strategic objectives.
Before joining APM, he spent more than a decade with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, including serving as Head of Information and Facilities, and has also held technology leadership roles at the Royal Society of Chemistry.
His experience spans digital transformation, organisational change, technology strategy and governance across professional membership organisations operating in regulated sectors.
Project management perspective
Dr Bonne’s appointment underlines the increasingly strategic role project professionals are playing beyond traditional project delivery, particularly in areas such as digital governance, organisational transformation and technology leadership.
As healthcare organisations accelerate digital adoption, boards require trustees who understand not only technology but also how complex transformation programmes should be governed. Delivering new digital services, implementing AI responsibly and strengthening cyber resilience all depend on disciplined portfolio management, effective risk governance and robust stakeholder engagement—core competencies developed within the project profession.
The appointment also reflects the expanding influence of project management in boardrooms. Digital transformation is no longer viewed as a purely technical function but as an organisational change programme requiring strategic oversight, benefits realisation and careful management of risk. For project leaders, opportunities are increasingly emerging at governance level, where experience in delivering complex change programmes can help organisations navigate technological disruption while maintaining public trust and regulatory compliance.
