The CIO role demands so much more today than it ever has.
As complexity increases, the journey from tactical technology ownership to strategic enterprise value creator is not an easy one to navigate.
CIOs are the digital backbone of the organisation – the architect of its transformation and guardian of its resilience – and need to excel in the role of enterprise leadership.
At the conclusion of the Global CIO Academy (in partnership with UCL School of Management) GCIOA alumni, faculty and selected CIOs should join this informative session including Q&A.
Sharing her insights will be Caroline Sands, Partner and Head of the CIO & Technology Officers Practice at Odgers.
Caroline began her career in executive search in 2000 and has since developed a niche in the appointment of executive leaders focused on technology, digital, data, change and cyber security.
Prior to joining Odgers, Caroline operated in search within the IT services and management consultancy arena where she recruited Senior Managers through to Partner level.
