Silicon's Top 50 CIOs

I’m not a fan of top 50 lists. I think they are usually meaningless and pointless, naming obvious people in obvious companies.

Not so the silicon.com Top 50 CIOs. This identifies the top IT executives in the UK, across private and public organisations. The list makes interesting reading, including less obvious organisations such as Oxfam and Hampshire County Council.

As I recall, the average tenure of a CIO is around 18 months, so the chaps (and they’re almost all male) must appreciate some profile-building to aid the hop to their next post.

In the meantime, I pity them. The number of unsolicited calls from eager salespeople will reach industrial proportions. The CIO community is the most sought-after group of prospects. But appearing on the list means that these CIOs are even less likely to respond to marketing in traditional forms.
