Technology has never been more important to manufacturers than it is now. Companies need analytics to solve supply chain problems, digital twins of their production lines to drive efficiency and flexible, cloud-based architectures to integrate with their customers and partners. As a result, CEOs are placing big bets on the technology leaders they hire. They must get this right.

The technology executive talent market is rife with titles: chief information officer, chief technology officer, chief data officer, chief digital officer, each with a unique (but overlapping) profile and skillset. I spend a lot of time recruiting technology leaders and can offer some guidance.
