CIOs Are People, Too


Posted by John Soat, Oct 5, 2007 07:42 PM

With their technical mastery and business savvy as a given, IT execs represent a unique group of highly motivated individuals. Check out these CIO profiles and compare their professional challenges and personal goals with your own, and with those of your corporate colleagues.


For instance, there's this:

If I weren't a CIO, I would be ... A futurist, a rock star, a pastor of a church, a teacher and a soccer coach, an artist or a banker.

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.
