From Finance to CIO: Bridging Business and Technology Leadership

Join SIM Chicago for an evening with Zach Jecklin, CIO at Echo, whose career path spans financial analyst, finance leadership, strategy, and now CIO. Zach will share how broad business experience, financial fluency, and cross-functional partnerships prepared him to lead enterprise technology.

This conversation is ideal for leaders who want to expand their impact beyond IT, strengthen their business perspective, and prepare for larger leadership roles. Feel free to bring a colleague or emerging leader on your team who would benefit from the discussion.
