Brief
Chief technology officers of telecommunications companies have a big job: They oversee about half of industry employees and will invest approximately $2 trillion in capital expenditures over the next five years. That figure, equal to the entire industry’s current market capitalization, has grown by $274 billion over the past four years, as the sector’s enterprise value has climbed by $544 billion. Most telecom CEOs have a clear vision of what they want, need and expect from their CTIOs.
