SAN DIEGO, Oct. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- As businesses contend with wrenching market turbulence and disruption, those companies that rise to the top will be adept at managing change effectively. The skills and traits of successful CIOs who have the right stuff to successfully navigate change in these uncertain times will be the focal point of the 2016 San Diego CIO Executive Leadership Summit, to be held on November 3, 2016 at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego, CA.

"Until recently, the CIO was rarely a key player in enterprise transformation efforts," said Hunter Muller, HMG Strategy's President & CEO.
