Abstract

The pandemic has rapidly accelerated many companies’ digital efforts, but do they have the right executives in place to lead this sort of transformation? To answer this question, the authors analyzed more than 100 search specifications for C-suite positions in Fortune 1000 companies across a broad range of industries. They identify how C-suite roles are changing, what companies can do to close the digital skills gap, and how individuals, including CEOs, board members, and up-and-coming professionals, can prepare themselves for future success.
