ABSTRACT
However, if you do have a background that traverses IT and P&L leadership, if you are CIO of a respected company whose CEO values board experience in his executives, and if you have great networking skills, then start your board appointment plan now. Enlist the executive leadership team of your company and set a strategic plan to secure your first corporate board appointment. Compliance, risk, innovation, and mobility are all taking center stage for almost every industry on the planet. There has never been a better time for CIOs to serve on boards, and it is high time that boards saw the light.
