CIO magazine's annual list of promising IT leaders.
No one becomes a leader overnight. But over time, in the face of increasingly complex challenges, promising leaders emerge. The Ones to Watch Awards, presented annually by CIO magazine and the CIO Executive Council, recognize this next generation of IT leaders and the CIOs who nurture their talents. Our five Standout Awards, meanwhile, highlight those Ones to Watch winners who best exemplify those critical leadership traits that distinguish the most successful CIOs: innovation; business strategy; people development; collaboration and influence; and change leadership. The 25 men and women below are outstanding representatives of the energy and commitment of business technology leadership. Congratulations to them and to their sponsoring CIOs.
