As digital transformation continues to accelerate across every sector, the demand for visionary technology leaders has reached unprecedented levels. From artificial intelligence and cloud migration to cybersecurity and data-driven innovation, IT and tech executives now sit at the very core of strategic decision-making.

According to Deloitte, 77% of CEOs say digital transformation is their top priority in 2025. Yet 61% of organizations report difficulty finding leaders with both technical fluency and business acumen.

“The gap between the speed of technological change and the speed of leadership hiring has never been wider.”
— McKinsey Digital, 2024

Key Drivers Behind the Surge:

• AI & Automation: As generative AI moves from R&D to real-world deployment, demand for CTOs and product leaders with AI integration experience is exploding.
• Cybersecurity: With global cybercrime costs expected to exceed $10 trillion annually by 2025, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) are in short supply.
• Cloud Transformation: More than 80% of enterprises have adopted hybrid or multi-cloud strategies, heightening the need for CIOs and IT strategists.
• Digital Product Innovation: SaaS firms and traditional enterprises alike are recruiting Chief Product Officers (CPOs) who can deliver rapid MVP cycles and user-centric platforms.

What Top-Tier IT Executives Want in 2025

To attract elite candidates, companies must evolve their value proposition. Compensation alone is no longer enough. According to a recent survey of over 500 tech leaders:

• 78% prioritize flexibility in tech stack and tooling
• 65% seek clear strategic autonomy in decision-making
• 62% value organizations with a strong innovation culture
• 49% are drawn to companies with advanced data maturity

Belmonri’s insight: The best tech executives view themselves as entrepreneurs within your organization. They want to build, own, and scale.
