Welcome; Opening Remarks & Keynote by David Mathison
• Topic: The ‘Gig Economy’ Hits The C-Suite: A Talent Exchange That Works For You
• Summary: After David Mathison welcomes the delegates and reviews the agenda for the day, Mathison suggests that the White Collar “gig economy” has hit the C-suite, evidenced by the simultaneous increase in fractional CIOs, CMOs, CFOs, CHROs, and CDOs; and the shortening tenures of C-suite executives. Both Spencer Stuart and Korn Ferry estimate that CMO’s have the shortest tenures in the C-Suite at just 42 months. According to CDO Club statistics, CDO tenure is on average 36-48 months. Reasons behind this trend are examined, and the presenters review potential solutions, including IXI, the CDO Club’s upcoming AI-based talent exchange that matches executives with targeted opportunities.

Opening Keynote: David Mathison: CEO at CDO Club
• Topic: 101 CDOs Who Have Become CEO
• Summary: After extensive research into the backgrounds and career paths of thousands of Chief Digital Officers worldwide, Bain Capital and the CDO Club recently published a report on the “CDO to CEO” career path. Notably, the report found that in just the last seven years, over 100 CDOs have become Chief Executive Officer or President. Considering that there are only a few thousand Chief Digital Officers globally, and that the Chief Digital Officer title is just over a decade old, this appears to be a surprising trend. Or is it? David Mathison, founder of the CDO Club, will examine these startling findings in detail.
