May 28, 2025

Every CIO’s journey is a heroic one, filled with challenges, growth, and pivotal moments that shape their leadership style and strategic vision. The path to becoming a CIO isn’t just a career transition; it’s a transformation -- a journey where you evolve from a technical expert to a visionary leader. Just like any hero, future CIOs must navigate trials, meet mentors, overcome obstacles, and ultimately bring back invaluable insights to lead their organizations into the future of technology.

Join us as we dive into the key stages of this journey, from answering the call to lead, to crossing the threshold of executive leadership. Through real-world examples, practical advice, and inspiring leadership stories from ex-CIO and partner in vCIO Global, Tony Darden, this session will equip you with the mindset, tools, and strategies to embark on your own heroic journey toward becoming a transformative CIO.
