The CIO Circle exists to bring these worlds together through trust, insight and practical support.
The challenge is no longer just keeping systems running.
It is leading transformation, managing risk, enabling growth and staying ahead of constant change.
Technology spend, cyber resilience, AI, data and digital transformation are now board-level priorities
— but the right answers are rarely obvious.
Reaching senior decision-makers has become harder than ever.
Trust is low, attention is limited, and traditional sales approaches are increasingly ignored.

Reduce wasted spend, improve resilience, simplify complexity and make better technology decisions with experienced CIO-level support.
A trusted peer community for CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, IT Directors and senior technology leaders.
Access peer support, masterclasses, curated insight and meaningful conversations with people who understand the reality of technology leadership.
A trusted route for selected solution providers to build visibility, credibility and relationships with senior technology leaders.
We help partners lead with value through education, thought leadership, curated access and trust-based engagement.
Practical thinking, interviews, masterclasses and resources covering leadership, AI, cyber, digital transformation, cost optimisation and the future of technology.

Technology is now one of the biggest levers for cost, risk, growth and operational performance. But many CEOs, CFOs and leadership teams are making decisions without the clarity they need.

The CIO Circle was founded by Brad Dowden, an experienced CIO and business leader who has seen technology from every side — leading teams, advising boards, working with vendors and navigating the pressure of business transformation.
The idea was simple: create a more trusted way for technology leaders, business leaders and solution partners to connect, learn and make better decisions.
Today, The CIO Circle brings together community, advisory, partners and insight in one ecosystem built around trust, relevance and practical impact.
