Women Make Up Half of CIOs with Top Paydays

PA Consulting Group’s IT strategy expert Hsiu Mei Wong was interviewed by for a “Special Report: CEO Guide for the new CIO” on how the role of the chief information officer is changing, and what that means for companies.

Discussing how the role of the CIO is becoming more strategic, Hsiu Mei was quoted in the Special Report. The international 2011 PA Consulting / Harvey Nash CIO Survey of 2500 CIOs was also highlighted in the story.

In the article, Hsiu Mei commented that “in the U.S., about 28 percent of CIOs surveyed by Harvey Nash and PA Consulting Group report directly to the CEO, up from about 21 percent in 2010 and 15 percent in 2009, which indicates growing influence. CIOs typically report to chief financial officers in companies where the role is seen as less strategic and more about efficiency and utility.”
