Welcome back to our Chief Digital Officer JOBS Update, through February 2020.
Last month’s Chief Digital Officer JOBS Update was RED HOT, with new hires announced at Bayer, Chubb, Cognizant, McDonalds, Microsoft, Panera Bread, and Sainsbury’s, among others.
New CDO hires continued its torrid pace again in February, with new hires last month at Amway, General Mills, Lloyd’s, Marriott, and Trustmark, among others.
Most importantly, in February alone, NINE CDOs made the transition to CEO and/or Board Director – the most we’ve ever tracked in one month – showing the strategic importance of CDOs on Boards, and in the top leadership spot. More on all this below.
