The Story of the

CIO Nexus 

The technology sector is one of the global economy's most

dynamic and innovative areas. Its diverse and engaged

community includes entrepreneurs, developers, investors, and

enthusiasts. Technology is central to the biggest companies in

the world, fuels the startup landscape, and is at the core of

transformation for companies of all shapes and sizes. 

​

In Ohio specifically, technology is HOT, with massive investment dollars driven by high-tech companies coming to the state and an aggressive move by the state government to push Ohio to become the #SiliconHeartland.  Now is the time for technology leaders to step to the forefront and lead the way. 

​

But technology changes fast and it is challenging for technology professionals to keep up with the rapid pace of change.  The best way for technology professionals to keep up is by coming together as a community and learning from each other. 

​

Unfortunately, this is easier said than done. Building a community is hard and not natural for many members of the technology community. Events are a great way to bring people together, but they are hard work to coordinate. Many of the current online options for the community (Twitter, etc.) are more divisive than collaborative. 

​

When it has worked, it has often been done through volunteer efforts of key community leaders or through the establishment of non-profit entities that provide formalization, but many times lack business sensibility.  Or it has been done by companies who go wide, building narrow communities across the country versus going deep and truly embedding themselves with a local or regional technology community. 

​

There is a gap in the market for someone to step in and get this right. Someone who understands the development needs of technology talent, someone who has a passion for community and understands how to effectively build and run communities, someone who understands both business and transformation, and someone who can stand on the shoulders of the many great community leaders who have come before them and build something long-term and sustainable. 

​

We believe that someone with a clear vision can mobilize the technology community across Ohio and elevate this state as THE place to be if you are in technology.  Tech Community Nexus aims to fill this gap and capitalize on the opportunities that the technology community offers.
