Digitalisierung: Welche Rolle spielen CIOs heute und in Zukunft?

Many CIOs (Chief Information Officers) in companies did an excellent job during the pandemic. In the post-pandemic period, it is important to redefine the position of the CIO. Five CIOs, Hanna Hennig of Siemens AG, Andreas Maier of AXA Switzerland, Michael Müller-Wünsch of OTTO, Rolf Olmesdahl, formerly of Raiffeisen Switzerland, Ursula Soritsch-Renier of Saint-Gobain Paris, and an executive search specialist, Patrick Naef, Boyden AG, were asked how they see the future of the CIO. All six executives who took part in the dialog agree that CIOs will still exist in 2030 and that, on the one hand, they should increasingly be drivers of the digital transformation in their company and, on the other hand, they still bear responsibility for the functioning of the digital infrastructure.
