The CIO position is characterized by many executives with strong technology backgrounds but few with the ability to work as a true partner with peer business executives. The great majority of our work in this area is with clients who conclude they need a CIO who can sit shoulder to shoulder with general managers and functional heads … can participate in and lead conversations around how to increase productivity, reduce costs, improve quality and grow markets. They do this with knowledge of how to re-engineer business processes and leverage technology, but they are successful businesspeople, not technologists.
We conduct CIO searches with firms across all industries including manufacturing, consumer goods, financial services, health care, information technology, business and consumer services, and many others.
