DENVER, Sept. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As the C-Suite continues to place a high value on growth and operational efficiency, CIOs are being required to deliver on those expectations, in part, by constantly identifying and creating new sources of value. The challenges and opportunities awaiting CIOs in this new world order will be among the pivotal discussion points that IT executives and other industry thought leaders will explore at the 2015 Denver CIO Executive Leadership Summit. This one-day event, produced by HMG Strategy, LLC, takes place on September 24, 2015 at the Ritz Carlton Denver.

"The Twenty-First Century CIO must move beyond the boundaries of traditional IT and collaborate with executives from across the enterprise in order to deliver on the needs of the business and a company's external customers," said Hunter Muller, HMG Strategy's President and CEO. "Thanks to their unique view of the enterprise and its various parts, the CIO can act as a bridge that helps the company meet its goals and objectives."

Israel Martinez, Chairman & CEO of Axon Global, will subsequently lead a discussion where he will examine how cyber security has evolved into an enterprise risk management issue that represents a hos of new business and executive challenges.
