About

The purpose of this session is to equip CIOs with a strategic understanding of their evolving leadership role, helping them operate at the highest levels of the enterprise, influence the Board, and prepare for post-CIO executive and non-executive opportunities.

As digital transformation becomes central to business success, the CIO’s position at the leadership table has never been more critical or more scrutinised. This session explores what it truly means to lead as a modern CIO, how to enhance your influence at the top, and how to prepare for your next career move; whether that’s progressing into broader C-Suite roles or securing a non-executive directorship. Attendees can explore how CIOs can transition into CEO, COO, and NED roles: what’s required and what it takes to stand out.

We will also be discussing the CIO’s Role with the Executive Committee and the Board, as well as understanding how to position technology as a strategic enabler, gain Board confidence, and speak the language of business value.

Who Should Attend?
CIOs and senior technology leaders looking to sharpen their leadership presence, influence business strategy, and take the next step in their executive or portfolio career.
