The rise of the Chief Digital Officer (CDO)…
Now 1,000+ CDOs globally and the number has
doubled every year for the last few years.
Gartner predicted 25% of businesses would have
a CDO by the end of this year.
According to the
CDO Club salaries
for a Chief Digital
Officer range from
$89,000 to
$600,000, with the
median falling
between $250,000
and $300,000.

What I learned about CDOs
• ‘Ambassador’ CDO vs ‘Transformer’ CDO
• CDO + CMO not a great idea
• CDO runs marketing, digital/tech, product
• CDOs next job? CEO.

What I learned about CCOs
• Strategic driver = competitive advantage through
customer-centricity and integrated channels
• Big teams and P&L responsibility
• CCO combines CDO and CMO roles
• CCOs have significant, if not complete, control of
technology, data, digital, insight, innovation. In some
cases customer service and, depending on company size,
all the physical (store, branch, call centre etc) operations.
• CCOs next job? CEO.

Future competitive (martech) advantage?
1. Join up data and systems, then…
2. Deliver experiences that are consistent, synced
and responsive across devices/channels, then…
3. Make them personalised, proactive and
contextual
