Along with CTO, CIO, CSO, CMO CISO.. come on people. There are too many C titles. In most cases CIO's don't sit on the board, CTO's don't sit on the board, CSOs NEVER sit on the board.
There are three chief titles that need to exist for any company be they a factory or a service.. CEO, COO, CFO -- They match line of business, P&L and purpose. Every other job.. reports to those three people. I'm sorry if i'm going piss off everyone else who has a "C" title--but its rare that even a CIO needs that "C" title. Information Systems are purely operational. Sure, there are some cases where other C titles are warranted, but in my opinion the last thing we need is yet another Chief with little or no budget, P&L responsibility and no seat on the board.
I welcome the flames, bomb throwing, and vitriol. Its the internet, bring it on!
