“Elizabeth Hackenson has been a CIO since 2004, and when she took on that role for the first time, it was as traditional CIO. As she describes it, “The CIO was still focused on systems, ERPs, services across the enterprise, and outsourcing to low-cost countries.” That was as the CIO of MCI. She would become CIO of both Alcatel Lucent and at AES for a decade following her tenure at MCI. With each stop, she took on greater levels of responsibility and contributing more strategic value to the enterprises she was a part of. For example, at AES, she would take on the Senior Vice President of Technology and Services role along with her CIO role. It as during her tenure there that she was inducted into CIO.com‘s CIO Hall of Fame.”
