What’s a “CIO+”?
A “CIO+” is a new kind of executive who blends the continuously changing landscape of information technology with business savvy and an entrepreneurial mindset to help companies thrive.
CIOs have a uniquely broad insight into enterprise-wide operations developed by working with the front office, back office, and everything in between, so they understand the ins-and-outs of almost every business department. Accordingly, many CIOs are uniquely positioned to take on the responsibility of business functions and have done so already.
