Chief Information Officer

With the rapid pace of innovation, consumerization of information technology, and continual shift towards cloud, mobility and automation, today’s CIO must blend deep strategic skills with an ability to collaborate and influence across internal and external stakeholders.

CIOs often find themselves at the center of multiple technology trends, simultaneously balancing strategic commitments to the board and CEO with the demands of providing 24/7 technology operations across the enterprise.

We serve clients across industries, ranging from the Fortune 500 to emerging private equity-backed companies. Our consultants understand the forces at play in the technology ecosystem and the leadership and technical skills that are needed to succeed in a dynamic business environment. Further, we strive to find CIOs and top IT leaders with a deep alignment to clients’ business context and organizational culture.
