Can you distinguish the differences between Chief Information Officer and Chief Technical Officer? This never came into my mind till I read this (source: TechRepublic's Tech Sanity Check):

* Focuses on internal customers (users and business units)
* Collaborates and manages vendors that supply infrastructure solutions
* Aligns the company’s IT infrastructure with business priorities
* Developers strategies to increase the company’s bottom line (profitability)
* Has to be a skilled and organized manager to be successful
CTO
