Thriving in the C-Suite by Driving Growth to be a Key Discussion Thread at HMG Strategy's 2015 Greenwich CIO Executive Leadership Summit

GREENWICH, Conn., Sept. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In order to drive innovation and create value, today's CIOs are continually developing and strengthening relationships with fellow C-suite executives. CIOs and industry thought leaders will explore the inherent opportunities and challenges associated with building trust and fostering these relationships at the 2015 Greenwich CIO Executive Leadership Summit on October 20, 2015. The summit will be produced by HMG Strategy, LLC, in association partnership with the Fairfield/Westchester Chapter of the Society for Information Management (FWSIM), and held at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich.

"Great CIOs are constantly building bridges across the enterprise and finding new opportunities to create value," said Hunter Muller, HMG Strategy's President and CEO. "Successful CIOs create and sustain productive working relationships across the C-Suite that points the strategic compass for the enterprise."

HMG Strategy, LLC, the world's foremost CIO network of 100,000 thought leaders and executives, was recently recognized by CIO.com as one of the Top Ten Tech Conferences Worth Attending in 2015 (CIO.com). The company will produce 44 events over the next 12 months across North America.

CIOs who work hand-in-hand with fellow members of the C-Suite can deliver impressive results. Ramon Baez, SVP, Global CIO and Customer Advocacy at Hewlett-Packard Company, will kick off the morning with an Executive Keynote on "The New Style of Business Powered by IT." Beverly Lieberman, President of Halbrecht Lieberman Associates, will moderate an executive interview with John Hamilton, former President and CEO and John Hill, CIO of Veyance Technologies. Hill and Hamilton helped transform Veyance, an underperforming $2 billion global manufacturing company with a dysfunctional IT organization, in just 18 months by positioning the company for sale.

Additional presentations focused on metamorphic leadership will explore how accelerated change in today's markets is requiring a new dynamic of performance from CIOs. Industry thought leaders will also probe how the continued emergence of new enterprise security concerns are forcing CISOs to balance efficiency and transparency with the need to strengthen information and network security.
