Eight Group’s CIO named a Future of Field Service Stand Out 50 Leader for 2026

Mo Dawood recognised among 50 leaders for his leadership and contribution to the future of field service.

Eight Group is proud to announce that Mo Dawood, Chief Information Officer, has been named a Future of Field Service Stand Out 50 Leader for 2026, recognising his leadership and contribution to the future of field service.

The annual Stand Out 50 celebrates leaders who are making a meaningful impact across the field service industry. Winners are selected by an independent judging panel and recognised for the way they are helping their organisations and the wider sector move forward.

Mo’s recognition reflects an approach that sits at the heart of Eight Group: combining deep engineering expertise with technology that helps our people deliver a more reliable, responsive service for customers. As a people-first technical services group, we believe technology works best when it gives engineers better information, removes friction from their day and helps them focus on doing great work.

“It’s a real honour to be included in the Stand Out 50. The most exciting opportunity in field service is not technology for technology’s sake, but using it to make life better for engineers and deliver a better service for customers. We have a brilliant opportunity at Eight Group to bring together great engineering businesses, talented people and the right technology to raise the standard across technical services.”

Mo Dawood, Chief Information Officer, Eight Group

The 2026 Stand Out 50 was officially announced by Future of Field Service on 24 September, including a livestream announcement and Times Square billboard activation.
