Introducing the CxO Technology Pathways Report 2025

Welcome to the latest edition of our Pathways series.

Building on last year’s CIO-focused study, this year we’ve expanded our scope to analyse a broader spectrum of digital and technology leadership appointments across Europe.

Our data provides a comprehensive view of who is being appointed, where, and why. Highlights include the rising prominence of the CTO title, the dominant force of private equity in driving appointments and the emerging activity in markets such as the Nordics, Portugal, and Greece.

This report is designed for both aspiring digital leaders and organisations looking to strengthen their succession pipelines, offering a clear view of the evolving technology leadership landscape across Europe.
