- samstave 8y agoDirector of Technology Information Technology Manager VP of IT VP of Ops VP of Eng Engineering Manager -- They are all "technology Officers" who report to the Chief of Technology - where Technology is a broad umbrella covering all things not HR, not Business-Specific, not Sales, etc... It is an apt title.
- dragonwriter 8y agoIsn't that true of most CxOs? I've always read CxO as “the corporate officer who is the chief of x” (well, with a special case for CEOs who are the chief of everything rather than the chief of executive.)
