At CIO CITY the CIONET community celebrated the 21 finalists of this year's European CIO of the Year award. Since all the finalists substantially contributed to the success of their organisation, the jury of the award had to make a tough choice. The winners were announced at the evening dinner of the congress:

 

Congratulations to:

Phil Jordan, Global CIO of Telefonica, European CIO of the Year, Global responsibility

After careful consideration the jury has decided to grant this award to an IT leader who is consistently regarded as a key influencer by his peers. As a true visionary he has led the business transformation of his company through a tremendous amount of global initiatives.
