The Lumos List: 50 CIOs of Impact and Influence, 2023: CALL FOR NOMINEES
At Lumos, we defy the status quo. We celebrate innovators, forward-thinkers. More than impact, we revel in the stories around those creating change that will influence the world - small ripples that lead to large scale difference. The people that power the technology…for good. As such, we’re creating a list to recognize the most influential CIOs of 2023, and we want your nominations!
The role of the CIO is in the center of it all. These strategic technology leaders are responsible for accelerating business growth, driving operational efficiencies, overseeing the development and evolution of their organization’s information technology platform…the list of complex and far-reaching efforts goes on and on. A highly visible role that differs in focus (and in some cases, title) from company to company, the CIO may spearhead IT efforts and innovation growth or assess mission critical programs that support the entire company.
Fighting necessary evils to protect data, security, and privacy, these heroes may be supporting companies known across the globe or smaller players mightily fighting the good fight. The need to manage costs and increase capital efficiency has required many companies to go through the unfortunate action of lay-offs. Through this gut-wrenching shift in our economy, the CIOs to be selected as ‘CIOs of Impact and Influence’ instill the following:
Shaping the Future of Business & Technology
They spot opportunities early and cultivate a game plan before most even realize there is a gap. They develop new technologies and innovate across the organization while ensuring compliance and company objectives are at the forefront. Resources are allocated for innovative solutions that increase productivity and capital efficiency. Data integrity and privacy are always a strong factor in every touch, so they continuously build systems that thwart threats. They lead to create significant impact not only within their organization but across industries via their unique lens of leveraging technology and data.
Their focus on IT is to transform the world we live in and lead strategic decision-making, create new revenue streams, and nurture internal and external customer engagement.
Developing and Nurturing Talent
They prioritize people before technology. Talent is seen as partners and their skills are cultivated strategically in collaboration with leaders across the company. Infrastructures created are all based on open communication and transparency in order to build solid levels of trust.
They value discovering talent in unusual places, inclusivity, and a commitment to an impactful mindset.
Range of Industries & Backgrounds
Nominees can and should come from a variety of industries and diverse backgrounds.
Not one to accept or settle, their career has been industry agnostic, led only by the need to transform the world by positive change through innovation.
