You mean CIOs have lives -- dreams, aspirations, and fantasies -- outside of the entwined circle of business strategy and IT functionality? Apparently so. And more power to them. CIOs are people, too, and deserve to be looked on as unique, compelling, and multifaceted personalities, right alongside their day-to-day demeanors as insightful, indispensable, high-performing corporate contributors.

That's why InformationWeek created the CIO Values profile feature. It's a listing of corporate, aspirational, and personal goals recorded by top tech executives at some of this country's most familiar and fastest-growing companies. You can see a list of those profiles here.

Would you like to add your career information to these profiles -- or know someone who deserves to be profiled here? Let me know by e-mail (jsoat@cmp.com) or drop a message in the comment field below. We'd love to add to the list.
