About
Nowhere in the world will you find a more concentrated or experienced group of IT leaders than within the CIO Executive Council.
Our mission is simple – to facilitate robust interactions among our global leaders in order to bring measurable value to their organizations and to support their professional development.
Free from the distraction of vendors or commercial interests, the Council provides each member a highly individual experience that draws upon a wealth of resources, including: peer-to-peer interactions, a deep industry knowledgebase, professional development programs, communities of practice, and media/public relations opportunities.
The Council provides a noncompetitive, nonthreatening environment for CIOs to exchange information, discuss challenges and opportunities, and share experiences, which can and do make a difference in each of our professional lives. "
