WHO WE ARE

CIONET's mission is to empower IT executives to lead with confidence and shape the future of digital business. Rather than merely helping leaders keep pace with change, CIONET enables them to set the agenda, driving innovation and defining what's next. This unique approach is founded on three key strengths.

Founded in 2005 by Hendrik Deckers, CIONET has grown over 20 years to become the largest membership of corporate digital leaders across Europe. Its strategic expansion from Belgium to the Netherlands, Spain, the UK, Italy, Germany, Poland, and throughout LATAM has created an invaluable cross-border community. This extensive experience and broad geographic presence allow CIONET to provide a truly global perspective on digital leadership.

CIONET is a trusted choice for today’s and tomorrow’s digital leaders because it provides an exclusive, high-calibre network. Members are part of a select group of top-tier executives who collaborate and share insights, ensuring they are always at the forefront of industry trends and have a powerful collective voice.

CIONET's core strength lies in its commitment to empowering its members to be agenda-setters, not just followers. By fostering a dynamic environment for innovation and professional growth, CIONET equips leaders with the tools, knowledge, and connections needed to confidently drive their organisations and shape the future of IT management worldwide.

I wanted to create something meaningful – not just a network but a community where knowledge and innovation thrive. My goal was to build a platform that empowers IT leaders to not only keep pace with change but to set the agenda themselves.
