I never could have imagined that I would be considered for the role of future Chief Information Officer (CIO) at a company. It is a significant role that comes with immense responsibilities. Throughout my journey, I have always battled with self-doubt, yet I have managed to make substantial progress in the past five years. However, the idea of being told that I am the future CIO seemed almost unreal. Yet, there I was, sitting in the CIO’s office, being informed that I would be the successor. It required me to leave my former company and face numerous challenges and sacrifices to achieve the growth in my career. Even now, as I contemplate the prospect of becoming a CIO, I still harbor doubts.
Only time will reveal whether I will indeed fulfill the role of a CIO.
