CIO of the year: The search is on
Cast your vote and nominate your CIO.
In South Africa, numerous Chief Information Officers (CIOs) maintain the efficient operation of enterprises and public sector organizations. Brainstorm, a publication, is currently soliciting nominations for its highly esteemed CIO of the Year Awards. The awards aim to recognize exceptional individuals who proficiently merge technology with high-level business strategy, fostering growth and innovation within their organizations.
The nominations can be submitted by CIO peers or colleagues, or even by the individual if they are the organization's internal technology decision-maker.
Two prestigious categories under the ITWeb Brainstorm CIO of the Year Awards are the Enterprise CIO of the Year and the Public Sector CIO of the Year. In 2025, Tando Luyaba, the CIO of the Information Regulator, was honored with the public sector award, while Khomotso Molabe, the group CIO for personal and private banking at Standard Bank, was recognized in the enterprise category.
Nominations are open until Monday, 28 September, after which a panel of judges will narrow down the finalists and conduct interviews before announcing the winners. The winners will be revealed at the ITWeb Brainstorm CIO Banquet on Thursday, 22 October, at the Four Seasons Hotel the Westcliff in Johannesburg. Additionally, the preliminary results of the CIO Survey will be unveiled during the banquet.
The ITWeb Brainstorm CIO survey relies on the input of CIOs to generate valuable benchmarking data, and the organization encourages CIOs to actively participate in this crucial research and nominate deserving candidates.
