Thanksgiving is the perfect time to reflect on the importance of gratitude. The ability to experience and to express gratitude is essential to our health and happiness. It is also a fundamental part of our professional lives. Increasingly, gratitude is seen as a key attribute of world-class executives and leaders.
November has been an absolutely incredible month for the HMG Strategy team and our truly unique global community of senior executive technology leaders and executives.
No matter how experienced and knowledgeable we become, most of us will likely face challenges that are beyond our immediate capabilities to resolve. That’s precisely when we need to reach beyond our organizations and seek answers from trusted advisors who genuinely understand the responsibilities of senior technology executives.
In a world of highly turbulent markets, extremely rapid transformation and unrelenting continuous change, executive leadership is the often the single most critical factor in determining success and achieving tangible business goals.
November is a truly action-packed month for the HMG Strategy network of world-class technology leaders and executives. Last week, we hosted our 2022 Greenwich CIO Executive Leadership Summit. This week, we’re hosting our 2022 Denver CIO Executive Leadership Summit and our 2022 Charlotte IT Executive Leadership Summit in Partnership with SIM Charlotte on November 8 and November 10, respectively.
I was inspired, energized and delighted by the superlative content, brilliant presentations and spirited panel discussions at our 2022 Greenwich CIO Executive Leadership Summit on November 3, produced in partnership with Fairfield/Westchester SIM.
At HMG Strategy, we are continuously innovating, inventing and evolving to provide our community with the world’s most comprehensive portfolio of superlative executive-level advisory services, peer-to-peer insights and trustworthy advice.
It was an incredibly busy and productive week, packed with high-value HMG Strategy leadership summits and events, including Tuesday’s 2022 San Diego Technology Executive Leadership Summit in Partnership with SIM San Diego and Thursday’s 2022 Silicon Valley CIO Executive Leadership Summit.
In my column on Friday, I highlighted our upcoming schedule of world-class high-value HMG Strategy leadership summits and events, including today’s 2022 San Diego Technology Executive Leadership Summit in Partnership with SIM San Diego, tomorrow’s Global CIO & CISO Executive Leadership Alliance (CELA) meeting and Thursday’s 2022 Silicon Valley CIO Executive Leadership Summit.
I am genuinely looking forward to next week’s truly amazing schedule of high-value HMG Strategy leadership summits and events. Our 2022 San Diego Technology Executive Leadership Summit in Partnership with SIM San Diego is set for October 25 and our 2022 Silicon Valley CIO Executive Leadership Summit will take place on October 27. Meanwhile, our Global CIO & CISO Executive Leadership Alliance (CELA) service, the world’s leading peer-to-peer executive leadership community for world-class CIOs and CISOs, will be gathering for a four-hour in-person brainstorming session in Silicon Valley on October 26.

I was thrilled, impressed and truly inspired by the amazing content, brilliant presentations and superlative expert panel discussions at our Global Women in Technology Summit yesterday. The summit’s theme was “The Future-Forward Female Tech Leader: Inspiring Performance Through Purposeful Leadership” and it delivered a powerful message of how trust, collaboration, innovation, resiliency and empathy can foster success in turbulent times.

As cybersecurity continues to become more of a mainstream business issue, CEOs, boards of directors and line-of-business leaders are becoming increasingly aware of the risks that cybersecurity vulnerabilities place on the enterprise.
With 40+ years of experience under his belt, David Mahon knows a thing or two about the threat landscape. Following a 28-year career with the FBI, David became Vice President of Corporate Security and then Chief Security Officer at CenturyLink before joining Deloitte Global as Chief Information Security Officer in 2018.
As world-class technology leaders and executives, we are all members of larger teams and organizations. We collaborate, we cooperate, and we co-create. We are all part of something greater and more powerful than our individual selves.
As cybersecurity has become a priority for CEOs, Boards of Directors and line-of-business leaders, the role of the CISO has continued to evolve with CISOs taking on additional responsibilities. Senior leaders recognize that cybersecurity represents the greatest risk facing the business. As such, CISOs have increasingly become responsible for overseeing not just cyber-risk but enterprise-wide risk as well, according to HMG Strategy’s 2022 Research Agenda.
Today’s technology executive plays a pivotal role in helping his or her organization respond to these forces of change. In essence, they serve as conductors to orchestrate the three pillars of organizational success – people, processes, and technology – and to draw upon their unique view of the enterprise to bring these elements into harmony.
