Technology growth having a profound impact on the role of a CIO

Sanjeev Kumar, Director & CIO, Apon India agrees that upgrades and fast innovation & growth in technology is not only having a profound impact on our lives and businesses, but it is also impacting the role of a CIO immensely. “From a CIO perspective, I would say that the right technology orchestration skills with business strategy skills supported by leadership qualities have tremendous value. Most of the highly skilled confident people say CIOs/CTOs/CISOs as we see trends in US and Europe, they prefer working as freelancers or as consulting partners to many organization. They do not prefer to operate on nine to five job needs in one company. These professionals feel that their Strategic and Innovative thinking ability better work when they are into minimum occupational noise that for obvious reasons routine job creates.”
