ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I'd like to thank the folks at Forrester Research, specifically George Colony, for his continued support of research and IT advisory services that greatly contributed to the success of this book.

I'd also like to thank my CIO peer group of IT leaders and executives for their contributions and insights. Their input lends legitimacy and credibility by providing real-world examples of challenges and solutions to today's complex IT and business environment.

In addition, the information and insight provided by my IT executive recruiting professionals is priceless. I hope it helps the readers with their next career moves.

Finally, but with no less importance, thanks to my editors, Tim Burgard and Stacey Rivera, at John Wiley & Sons and to the many literary professionals on the Wiley team who helped bring this book to fruition.
