WESTPORT, Conn., Nov. 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HMG Strategy is thrilled to announce that membership growth in HMG Strategy’s CIO and CISO Executive Leadership Alliance (CELA) program, a unique peer-to-peer advisory service that's designed for top-tier technology leaders to explore common opportunities and top challenges with one another, has experienced extraordinary growth in 2019.
The program, which advocates a “No Analyst” model, has been created by HMG Strategy to enable CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, Chief Digital Officers and other senior technology executives to brainstorm and confide in their peers in a trusting, collaborative environment.
“The business models for traditional research advisory companies are outdated and fail to meet the needs of technology executives in a rapidly-changing global digital business environment where disruption has become the norm and successful innovation is what separates the winners and the losers in today’s highly-dynamic markets,” says Hunter Muller, President and CEO at HMG Strategy.
“The unique insights that cutting-edge technology leaders gain from their participation in the CELA program demonstrates the value they see from consistently interacting with their peers on the top issues facing CIOs, CISOs and other senior technology executives in their efforts to move their organizations forward,” Muller adds. “Winning matters, and the technology leaders who continue to flock to our CELA program embrace this concept.”
Membership in HMG Strategy’s CELA program, which marked its 10th anniversary this years, experienced strong double-digit growth in 2019. New brands now participating in HMG Strategy's distinctive peer-to-peer advisory service now include Adobe, Estee Lauder, TE Connectivity, RingCentral, Nutanix, Medtronic, Veritiv, and Suez Water North America.
