Insight Partners Launches Empower Program to Transition CIOs into Board and Advisory Roles
Insight Partners has officially launched 'Empower,' a strategic program designed to help Global 2000 Chief Information Officers (CIOs) prepare for board seats, startup advisory positions, and portfolio career paths. The initiative aims to bridge the growing expertise gap in corporate governance, specifically addressing the lack of AI and cybersecurity oversight within public company boards. The program launched with 10 delivery partners, including Diligent, Heidrick & Struggles, and Riviera Partners, following a successful twelve-month pilot that enrolled over 50 CIOs. By helping technology leaders build networks and visibility while still in their operating roles, Insight Partners seeks to position CIOs as essential assets for boards navigating AI business transformation and large-scale infrastructure investments.
