CanadianCIO of the Year nominations are open. Who will you nominate?

CanadianCIO of the Year is the premier technology executive recognition program in Canada. We are looking for IT executives and emerging leaders who have shown excellence in leading information technology.

Technology is an integral part of doing business. Utilizing it to proactively advance company initiatives takes strategy, planning and implementation. The CanadianCIO of the Year Awards honour IT executives who have shown excellence in leading information technology. The award recognizes the top technology executives that use IT in innovative ways to create a competitive advantage, optimize business processes, enable company growth and impact the company’s bottom line.
