Founder's Welcome

Dennis Kennedy

Welcome to the Top 50 Chief Information Officers website.

Welcome to the 2020 Distinguished Chief Information Officer Awards. In 2017, we pushed the National Diversity Council to strongly promote our vital mission in the technology industry. Through this award, my hope is to specifically recognize the achievements of a diverse range of information officers who are making great strides innovating in their space. The Chief Information Officer has become the point-person for innovation and the forerunner for change inside today’s organizations, inexorably linked to this information generation of rapid progress. And as the role of technology has shifted, so too has the role of the CIO.

‘Big Data’ is the watchword, with the volume and importance of information constantly rising. Today’s CIO must be equipped to leverage that information towards a greater strategy of organizational growth and success. The National Diversity Council is proud to recognize the executives who are doing just that.

These 2020 Distinguished Chief Information Officers meet the following criteria:

We are honored to feature such a powerful group of inspirational leaders reaching new heights of achievement in tech.

Cordially,
Dennis Kennedy
Founder and Chairman
National Diversity Council
