INSIGHT PARTNERS CIO COUNCIL
A trusted peer community for CIOs.The CIO Council experience begins as an 18-month program for 15+ global CIOs across industries to pressure-test decisions, explore emerging technologies and trends, and gain a behind-the-scenes view into how Insight Partners operates and where we’re placing our bets.
Drawing on Insight’s 30+ years of software investing, the CIO Council is designed as a two-way exchange. Members get access to Insight’s point of view, founders, and hand-selected peers, and in turn, share real-world challenges that inform how the firm thinks about the enterprise.
Following the program, members join our broader Council to continue building their trusted network and deepen their engagement with the firm over time.
