Calling all CIOs...

Excited to share that I have begun freelancing for CIO.com, a publication from Foundry, an IDG, Inc company. I'm writing long-form articles that interview chief information officers (CIOs) on pressing topics. So far I've covered features on API governance, generative AI, and developer productivity.


I think the CIO is an interesting role, navigating many technical and business perspectives. Through my coverage, I hope to continue to uncover actionable takeaways that inform tech executives at the cutting edge. Be sure to follow CIO.com to read my features, and let me know what you think!


Looking for sources

Are you a CIO, or do you work with a CIO who would like to contribute to my ongoing coverage? I am actively seeking input for new stories. Please contact me directly or reach out on my Contact page.
