“If I had this course when I was a Director, it would have shaved years off of my transition to the C-Suite, accelerated my journey as a leader, and helped my company and team at the same time!"

“Embarking on a journey as a technology leader can be both challenging and immensely rewarding. By equipping yourself with the necessary information and surrounding yourself with motivated colleagues and experienced mentors, you can transform this endeavor into a truly fulfilling experience. As someone who has transitioned into the role of CIO, I understand the value of having access to such resources prior to assuming the position. I encourage you to seize the opportunity to empower yourself with knowledge and forge connections that will propel you towards success in your leadership role.”
