Abbie Lundberg’s Summary

I'm a business technology analyst, editor and professional speaker with 21 years experience reporting and commenting on the use of technology in business. I led the award-winning CIO editorial team as Editor in Chief from 1995 through 2008. During that time, CIO became the publication of record for chief information officers and all executives interested in the use of information technology for business value and competitive advantage.

As President of Lundberg Media, I help CIOs and their senior teams translate complex issues into clear messages to speed organizational buy in and delivery of results. Whether introducing a new technology, delivering a new capability or rolling out a whole new strategy, meaningful communication is central to IT executives' ability to effect change. Few communication consultants offer the depth of business technology insight that Lundberg Media provides, and few technology consultants can match our communication strengths. We are uniquely positioned to provide this essential service to IT executives.

In addition to my work with IT leaders, I provide businesses and non-profits with media and communications services including writing, editing, presentations, research, public speaking, online strategy development and group facilitation. I work with organizations to develop online and face-to-face communities and write and speak about the use of technology and social media in business.

A longtime proponent and facilitator of peer-to-peer executive learning and knowledge sharing, I was involved in the creation and launch of the CIO Executive Council, a peer advisory service for IT executives founded in 2004, as well as its predecessor, the CIO Best Practices Exchange. In 2005, I also ran operations for CXO Media’s executive programs group.
