For many years, Global CIO nominated outstanding digitalization initiatives with the "Project of the Year" award. However, we understand that people are pivotal to business success. Thus, we have established the "Top 100 IT Leaders" list to show the people who guide the projects to success. Global CIO invites you to join the list, showcase your experience and share your insights with IT worldwide.

The "Top 100 IT leaders" list is compiled from applications received through the form on the website.
