We prefer to call this article "CXO Ladder Unplugged," to convey the raw and unfiltered nature of Eric Sigurdson's narrative. In this piece, he not only shares his remarkable career journey but also offers invaluable insights to aspiring executives as a CXO/CIO recruiter, presenting his story in an unplugged, candid manner. Eric comes from a family with a background in the music business, which he is deeply passionate about. Drawing parallels between music and mathematics, he pursued his B.S. in computer science and mathematics from the University of Illinois. In 1984, he landed a job at IBM. Interestingly, not as a coder, but in the technical sales force, driven by his passion for interacting with people. Despite numerous management positions opening up for him during his 11-year tenure at IBM, he made a significant career switch to professional services. Joining the executive search firm, Russell Reynolds Associates, he found searching and recruiting tech leaders for clients to be a tailor-made job for him.  For 28 years and counting at the firm, his passion for human interactions remains strong. He says, “I enjoy getting to know leaders who have been successful.” In a nutshell, he followed a career where his heart is. Eric has a wealth of experience in the CXO/CIO recruitment space that he garnered as a CIO Practice Leader at Russell Reynolds Associates. In this article, he shares "precision insights" on what it takes for tech executives to ascend to CXO positions. The story also features the career ascent of Linda Jojo, the Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer at United Airlines, whom Eric recruited. Emmanuel Ramos, CSO at OZ Digital Consulting, and the CIO TechWorld team are excited to present to you the fascinating career journey of Eric Sigurdson and the valuable career insights he generously shares here. https://lnkd.in/gxVTBMHK #CareerInspiration #LeadershipGoals #SuccessStory #TechLeaders #CIOs #CXOs #CXOLadder #CIOTechWorld
