I like your thinking. It makes perfect sense. +10 points for you using the word "uber" in your comment :) Thanks for popping on over to my little corner of the web. I look forward to seeing your thoughts more around my digs. Hey Danny. I like your thinking. It makes perfect sense.

The latter is charged with focusing on organizational IT needs, which could involve dev projects, like a Big Cheese at a University. Does that work for you? -danny I always read CTO as “Senior VP of Engineering” whereas CIO is “Senior VP of Information Services”

Or:

CTO == uber-developer
CIO == uber-sysadmin

The one has more of a focus on engineering, probably in developing the product at a dot-com. The latter is charged with focusing on organizational IT needs, which could involve dev projects, like a Big Cheese at a University.

Does that work for you?
