TORONTO, ON, Nov. 15, 2022 Global IT research and advisory firm Info-Tech Research Group is proud to announce the winners of the 2022 Info-Tech CIO Awards. The awards recognize outstanding IT leaders who have delivered exceptional business value to their organizations and achieved high stakeholder satisfaction scores through Info-Tech's CIO Business Vision program for 2022.

Since 2016, Info-Tech has celebrated exceptional IT leaders who have demonstrated success, as quantified by their direct business stakeholders. The CIO Business Vision program determines the annual list of winners by measuring an organization's satisfaction with IT's core services for the year. The results provide CIOs with the insights required to jump-start a successful IT strategy.

"The most critical metric for any IT leader is stakeholder satisfaction, and Info-Tech's CIO Award recipients have excelled in this key metric," says Geoff Nielson, senior vice president of global services and delivery for Info-Tech Research Group. "It is our privilege to recognize and honor this year's award winners, who have delivered exceptional value to their respective organizations and the industry. We wish them continued success."

Of the many contenders for the 2022 CIO Awards, 40 winners have been identified globally across multiple leadership categories, including large and enterprise, medium, and small business divisions.
