ATLANTIS, THE PALM
There is no business without IT today and technology has an impact on every aspect of how any business operates. However, harnessing the full potential of IT requires vision and ingenuity, and laser-sharp focus on innovation.
CXO Middle East is hosting its inaugural awards to recognise IT leaders who have achieved operational excellence with best practices, new methodologies and right technology resources. The award is designed to honor innovative and forward-thinking IT executives whose actions have had an impact on their own organisations and the industry they work in.
The awards are open to IT executives anywhere in the Middle East and all entrants for CXO 50 Awards will be evaluated by a judging panel comprising industry stalwarts. So, if you are an IT pro who has demonstrated innovative leadership with real-world results we would like to hear from you.
