Kyndryl US CIO Government Expert Exchange

September 3, 2025

Overview

The Kyndryl US CIO Government Expert Exchange is an exclusive peer-to-peer community of senior IT leaders, CIOs and CTOs who gather quarterly for open virtual discussions to share their top-of-mind challenges and gain insights from their peers. Our current members include technology leaders from State of Arizona, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, California, Illinois, Salt Lake City, Commonwealth of Virginia and more.

The topics for the roundtables are determined based on interests and feedback provided during 15-minute prep calls conducted with participants in the weeks leading up to the roundtable.

Hosted by Kyndryl and facilitated by our third-party partner, Profitable Ideas Exchange (PIE), the community provides members a valuable opportunity to build peer relationships, benchmark themselves against peer companies, and learn industry best practices.
