Some of the most impactful transformational roles that we have worked on in recent years have been in the office of the Chief Information Officer. The CIO and his/her team have grown more involved with streamlining business operations and enabling business growth, requiring IT leaders to possess well-rounded business backgrounds. In addition to the technically focused master’s degrees that many IT leaders have typically pursued, today’s senior IT leaders and rising stars have pursued MBA degrees from top business school programs. For many of today’s IT professionals, the CIO position can be a role on the path to COO and General Management positions.
We have seen an increasing number of companies recruit future business leaders into their organizations via IT Strategy positions. Our IT Practice leverages our proprietary website and database ConsultantTrack.com, which includes more than 8,000 screened current and former management consultants, many of whom have advanced through Partner level positions with the top IT consultancies.
From Financial Services to Logistics and Transportation, we have successfully completed searches at the CIO and CTO level through senior direct reports in the following areas: Procurement, Global Networking, Computer Open Access, Disaster Recovery, Applications Development, Web Technologies, and Data Administration & Management.
