If you are a new CIO and it seems a bit of a mystery, let's talk. I will spend an hour or so with you discussing how you can first survive and then thrive in the C-Suite. Just promise to donate $50 to your favorite charity. CIO half-life is 4.3 years- Korn Ferry. That is disturbing in the extreme, especially if you have spent 10 or even 20 years preparing for this opportunity. That’s a long commute home after getting fired from your dream job. Of course, there are as many reasons for failure as there are people.The most common reason is that CIOs fail to get the money. If you can’t get the budget, you can’t succeed. In the first 2 years as a CIO your single largest challenge will be developing the budgeting skills of your staff. No money, no fun! To get the money you will also have to train your staff how to conceive and then develop strategies. Most IT/digital people think of strategy as a lot of interesting and possibly even useful “stuff”. This immature thinking is guaranteed to fail. As your budgeting and strategic thinking capabilities grow, all the other skills of your staff will rapidly improve. Almost like magic!
Listed skills include Business Intelligence, It Strategy, Strategic Partnerships, Vendor Management, and 26 others.

A career timeline built from the work history available for this profile.
Providing skills-based training for improving IT professionals. Look beyond “just” technical skills for improvements. Build skills in budgeting, communicating, business knowledge and human interactions. When skills improve your staff is naturally more engaged. This requires much less effort and stress than generic Corporate HR or global consultant company approaches.

Founder of IT Services at the Spanish Language Media leader. My arrival started the effort to overcome a +20-year deficit in IT capabilities. Within 5 years and with major C-Suite support Univision had largely closed the IT gap with their competitors (NBC, ABC et al). Professional IT staff was hired and deployed, funding secured, infrastructure deployed, and applications acquired or developed. In subsequent years Univision was able to distance itself from competitors in selected areas such as (1) applying IT best practices to show production, editing and distribution, (2) business intelligence, (3) master data management (a chronic problem in broadcasting), (4) optimization of telecommunication costs, (5) smart phone expenditure control and (6) disaster recovery/business continuity planning.All this transacted during periods of tumultuous business activity including (1) revenue growth from <$400 million to about $1.5 billion despite 2 advertising sales recessions (the ".com" bubble and the post Lehman Brothers great recession), (2) completing transition of the Company from private ownership to publicly traded, (3) acquisition and integration of the largest Spanish language radio broadcaster, (4) launching of a second national broadcast network including nationwide TV station group and (5) starting up record and music publishing companies, greatly augmented twice through acquisition (Mexico and US operating companies) that was wound-down and ultimately sold and (6) taking of the Company private by 5 hedge firms later joined by a 6th investor.
Leader of initial systems efforts for the fledgling NBC cable businesses focusing on revenue generation through advertising sales and fees from cable operators. In this period industry cable broadcast properties were quickly evolving through trial and error from mostly breakeven propositions (or worse) to the successful operations that we know today. Networks supported included CNBC and MSNBC as well as several other properties that were tried and sold or failed. Designed, developed, deployed and supported a number of in-house developed and 3rd party applications including CRM and Order Management/TV Commercial Deliver (i.e. Traffic) Systems. Greatly expanded deployment of PCs from a few Finance/Nielsen Research staff to 100% of the organization while coaching the wider community on desktop productivity opportunities and proper use.Was a leading member of a loose confederation of global cable network IT managers (U.S., Canada, Hong Kong and South Africa) that worked with 3rd party software firms to define and deliver advertising sales applications. While few common global systems requirements existed at this time, the weaker software development firms were culled from the mix. Subsequently, global requirements began to converge and much improved application systems became available in the marketplace.
Transferred from GE Company to reconstitute Data Base Administration in support of large scale project. This was a GE Board of Directors approved initiative to upgrade/replace 100% of the information system at NBC. The overall budget was $85 million. Over the first 2 years my job responsibilities were expanded twice to include all aspects of data base support including items typically beyond the scope of this role like Enterprise Data Modeling and Application System User Response Time. By 1992 my reporting level had also been raised twice.At my arrival the project was severely stalled with only one application upgraded (about 5% of the total work effort) while 30% of the money and 40% of the time has been expended. Together with other organizational changes, Data Base Administration was instrumental in successfully completely the initiative. At end the project came in on-time and under budget by about $8 million. Miraculously, with all this rushed work only one small application required a do-over.
