The Gartner Research Board (GRB) is Gartner’s dedicated service for the senior-most technology and digital leaders and their functional direct reports from the largest and most complex Global organizations. The roles we serve include Global CIO, Digital Officer, Technology Officer, Data & Analytics, Infrastructure & Operations, Enterprise Architects, Security & Risk, and Strategic Sourcing.
GRB is the only global peer research service that supports the critical priorities of these senior leaders through a combination of shared member community insight (members learning from each other’s experiences) and thought leadership from the Gartner analyst community, supported by external connections from an extended ecosystem of vendor, academic, and investor relationships.
VP Program Directors work closely with member technology leaders, ranging from Global CIOs to Data & Analytics leaders in the GRB community to address their top priorities, help to bring together peer connections, insight from GRB dedicated, member-driven research, and the wealth of capability across Gartner in support of members’ goals. Dependent on priorities, Program Directors will apply their expertise in each area to guide members with deeper insight through a combination of practical experience and professional exposure.
Working collaboratively with the Research Board team, Program Directors are responsible for engaging and retaining Research Board members, and for supporting growth initiatives to develop and strengthen the Research Board community.
