About Joe.Joe TopinkaA long-time Chief Information Officer with success across multiple industries leading and elevating IT organizations to drive meaningful business results.
I believe that when you create a trusting environment and empower people they deliver the best possible results. This philosophy has helped the companies I’ve led achieve great results and enabled me to be awarded CIO of the Year 3 times by 3 separate entities. I am passionate about mentoring those I lead as well as others in the IT field. As founder of CIO Mentor, LLC, I leverage my expertise and empowering leadership style to guide companies in capturing the power of technology to achieve profit-driven business results. My methodology creates a bridge between business stakeholders and IT organizations, establishing a people-powered platform that aligns teams to compete. I also coach IT leaders in transforming corporate relationships, leveraging the right technology, and prioritizing investments. An author and frequent key-note speaker, I deploy a relatable communication style to energize and motivate audiences of all types. I am sought after to coach executives and companies and speak on topics including the digital revolution from a business perspective, personal accountability, and next generation IT. My bestselling book, IT Business Partnerships: A Field Guide, was named a top-ten read for CIOs. I am deeply committed to my community and serve as a board director for the Charlotte Area Technology Collaborative, supporting their mission of IT career growth and advancement in the Charlotte area. I am also Chair of the Business Relationship Management Institute. |
