Chief Investment Officer. Might want to try a quick google search next time. These types of firms generally advise endowments and other types of organizations that have large investment portfolios

Edit: could also be Chief Information officer I guess? maybe someone more familiar with consulting could chime in on this

Why dont you you use google if you dont know, see where that gets you hotshot
 
WalMartShopperneed context
Context would be E&Y or PwC CIO Advisory - I can tell through searching that they deal with IT strategy but no where lists what the actual accronym stands for.
 

Chief Information Officer. CIO Advisory basically deals with IT Strategy, IT Ops, etc.

Don't ask what IT means next :D

 

First time poster and this is the welcome I get? Wow. And yes I tried google search many times. I understand CIO Advisory works with IT Strategy hence the strategy hashtag. I just didnt know what CIO stood for. Clearly one of you doesnt know either seeing as you gave different answers - Chief Investment Officer and Chief Information officer.

 

okay, after providing additional context, you claim i'm wrong. thanks buddy. there are also businesses built around the concept of being external CIOs, which could be termed as CIO advisory as well. I was trying to help you out, which is why I added the edit that it could be another definition (of which I am not familiar). you're welcome hotshot

TylerTBoth are right, but this highlights are great tip for consulting - ask about context.

As for the original poster, it's a rough forum and to be fair the first hit for me on Google discussed both titles and gave a brief description of each.

Welcome.

TT

Thank you for your insight. I appreciate it.
 
Hoosier82You have to change your attitude, but here you go.
Sorry I was a bit taken back by the sarcasam and asking me to try google searching before asking something on here. Clearly I had already tried google searching before resorting to asking the question in this forum. But I digress,

Also to be fair, I found that link when I was googling "CIO Advisory". Where in that pwc link does it say what CIO stands for? That was my ultimate question. I know what it is and can find plenty of info on it but I had trouble tracking down what the acronym stood for.
