The network of Italian CIOs
CIO Club Italia is the network of Chief Information Officers (CIOs), CxOs (CTOs, COOs), IT Managers and other information technology executives in Italy, founded in 2019.
Our mission
The social purpose of CIO Club Italia is to promote the spread of digitalization as a common tool for enabling innovation.
The association aims to bridge economic and gender gaps in the IT sector, promoting an inclusive and accessible digital culture for all professionals.
After just 15 months of activity we joined Repubblica Digitale, the national strategic initiative promoted by the Department for Digital Transformation of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.

What we organize for our members
Salary Observatory
Our main project: a comprehensive mapping of regional and sectoral variations in IT salaries in Italy, aiming to analyze market positioning and reduce salary inequalities in the sector.
Concrete data, community-based, available to all Italian IT professionals.

Our story in a book
Relive the story of how an idea, fueled by passion and determination, transformed into a movement that brings together IT professionals from across Italy and beyond.
Discover the events, the people and the strategies that allowed CIO Club to overcome seemingly insurmountable barriers and build, starting from southern Italy, a national network for development and networking in the technology sector.
"CIO Club Italia. How we did it" is not just a book — it is an invitation to anyone who believes that change is possible: to join a union of skills and a sharing of experiences.
