As more companies expect technology to drive organizational change, technology leaders become more valuable. The Heidrick & Struggles Global ClO Practice has a dedicated team of more than fifty consultants, researchers, and knowledge experts who focus on ClO appointments. We develop long-term relationships with our clients and candidates, which enable us to assess both talent and cultural fit, and in the last decade, we have appointed more than 500 CIOs and partnered with some of the best-known, and most demanding, companies in the world.
The Chief Information Officer (ClO) of the future is a leader, an agent of change, and a valued business peer. Boards today need business savvy Chief Information Officers - those who understand how technology can pragmatically achieve business goals. The most visionary companies nurture individuals who are both business and technology literate, and the best CIOs are destined for the CEO chair. Such CIOs are unique, and with the average tenure of the ClO falling to two and a half years in the US, and Europe and Asia close behind, the competition for ClO talent is fierce.
