Welcome back to our Chief Digital Officer JOBS Update, through March 2020.
Despite (or maybe because of) these turbulent times, March 2020 was yet another exceptional month for Chief Digital Officers. For a quick recap to date:
January Chief Digital Officer JOBS Update: Hiring in this normally slow month was RED HOT, with new CDO hires announced at Bayer, Chubb, Cognizant, McDonalds, Microsoft, Panera Bread, and Sainsbury’s, among others.
February CDO Jobs Update: Last month set a new record for the number of CDOs who made the transition to CEO and/or Board Director with NINE in one month.
Our current March 2020 CDO JOBS Update broke February’s record, with TEN CDOs who moved to CEO and/or Board Director roles, including:
Charlie Cole: CEO at FTD. Former Chief Digital Officer at Tumi/Samsonite.
Jacqueline Wright: Board Director at nVent Electric plc (NYSE:NVT). Currently Chief Digital Officer at Microsoft U.S.
James Kuffner: Board Director at Toyota. Currently CEO and CDO at Toyota Automated Driving and Robotics.
Sheila Jordan: Board Director at Slack (NYSE: WORK). Currently Chief Digital Technology Officer at Honeywell.
Naureen Hassan: Board Director at OneSpan™ Inc. (NASDAQ: OSPN). Currently Chief Digital Officer at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management.
These moves demonstrate the strategic importance of CDOs on Boards and as CEOs.
Especially during times of crisis.
Today, it is critically important for companies to have executives who are experienced in digital transformation, building new businesses, products, and services, and cutting costs through frictionless online transactions and increased operational efficiencies.
Publicly traded companies are staffing their boards with cross-industry digital leaders to fill knowledge and experience gaps, overcome internal biases, weaknesses, and blind spots, review the competitive landscape, business direction, and strategy, and to ensure that management identifies, manages, and mitigates risk.
The survival of every organization today is at serious risk. The smart ones are taking protective and proactive measures now, fully leveraging the skill sets of C-suite leaders in digital, data, analytics, security, and privacy.
Bottom line: This is the best time in history for CDOs to get that CEO and/or Board Director role.
