About Us

CDO Magazine grew out of the annual Chief Data Officer and Information Quality Symposium (CDOIQ), founded in 2007 by the MIT Sloan School of Management, in partnership with the International Society of Chief Data Officers (isCDO) and ComSpark. Our vision and mission is to be the premier global digital publication giving voice to global executives in strategic data, analytics, AI, and security roles. The publication delivers C-suite-worthy format and quality content — insights essential to accelerating organizational adoption of enterprise disciplines that are key to success in our digital society.

Our passion is to be a catalyst to gather leaders in regional communities and connect them to our global executive community. We want to help data, analytics, AI, and security executives experience a more profound sense of community through a platform where the best ideas, innovations, companies, and leaders are celebrated. CDO Magazine has CDO Forums in cities, countries, and regions around the world. We want to build a trusted network among peers, champion collaboration on common interests and challenges, elevate the CDO profile, and feature global thought leaders.

With an audience approaching 400,000 readers, our publication is read in 95% of countries globally. Notably, the CDO Magazine Editorial Board is composed of leading executives from 26 nations.

If your city has a CDO/CIO forum and you would like to join the CDO Magazine Community, our editorial team would be interested in learning about the leaders, innovations, and companies for editorial consideration in your community. Your city's forum chair, operating committee, and forum logo will be listed in CDO Magazine. There is no investment to join.
