Chief Investment Officer - CIO

If you have a family, one person might have the responsibility to manage the finances. The same goes for organizations.

The Chief Investment Officer (CIO) is an executive who leads a company’s investment strategy. Typically, they require a degree in finance and have a lot of experience in supervising employees. Historically, the CIO role has been given some disrespect, as people believe that a shift into investment management isn’t as important as operations or information technology. Conversations about how the role should evolve, and whether it should be reinvented for the times, are common in thought leadership magazines and white papers.

That’s really it. If you work in a corporate office, you probably will never talk to him. He’s usually quiet, unlike that Chief Operations Officer guy who just talks all the time about how he could run the company better after he’s on his seventh Mai Tai.
