Early Morning Byte: Monday, July 14, 2025
Who moved? What changed?
Good Morning,
Over 50 organizations, including McDonald’s, MIT, FedEx, and Best Buy, have appointed new CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs. The volume alone reflects how central technology leadership has become to the direction and resilience of the enterprise.
And what stands out just as much is the range… from Fortune 500s to universities and startups, it looks like recalibrating is the trend of the summer.
That kind of momentum shows up elsewhere too. OpenAI’s acquisition of Jony Ive’s hardware startup points to a future where AI moves beyond software and becomes part of how technology is physically experienced.
For CIOs, it’s yet another shift to watch closely… Less about what gets built, and more about how expectations around technology are changing.
