1047: What does it take to lead tech—and the enterprise—in 2026?
In this episode of Technovation, we feature a panel from our October 2025 Metis Strategy Summit where Steven Norton speaks with three top executive recruiters: Craig Stephenson (Korn Ferry), Jamey Cummings (JM Search), and Scott Robbin (Heidrick & Struggles). Throughout the conversation, each recruiter gives their perspective on the evolving mandate of the CIO.
The conversation covers:
- The convergence of data, security, digital, and operations under the CIO
- How talent strategy and succession planning are changing
- What makes a technology leader board-ready
- The rise (and ambiguity) of the Chief AI Officer
- Offshore workforce trends and leadership development
