It's an exciting time to oversee technology for a business. From AI and cybersecurity to cloud computing and regulatory compliance, companies are spending more money than ever on products and services. The expectations are high, and the questions—from the board and the C-suite—are more complex, and ever more frequent. At the center of it all is the chief information officer. An estimated 72% of businesses surveyed by Deloitte last year reported having a CIO. Other key decision-makers include chief technology officers, chief data officers, chief digital officers, and chief information security officers. These are the leaders who are propelling transformative technologies that can generate significant value to shareholders. Beginning Feb. 28, a new Fortune newsletter, CIO Intelligence, will explore the key issues shaping the roles of CIOs and other technology leaders. The newsletter will explore topics ranging from generative AI projects to the cloud vs. on-premise debate; tech talent and technical debt; and the protection of sensitive data as fraudsters utilize AI at wider scale and with sharper precision. My name is John Kell, and I’m thrilled to begin writing this newsletter every Wednesday from New York, where I’ve also frequently covered the generative AI boom that’s got everyone talking. If you're a CIO, or if you're overseeing an important aspect of your company's technology, I want to hear from you. Please join me as we explore how top tech leaders are developing their winning playbook. John Kell |
