These sectors includedtechnology (including hardware, software and other ITservices), financial services, life sciences,telecommunications, online and e-commerce.In addition to this survey, EY conducted an analysis of thecareer paths, education and background of over 100 leadingCIOs, representing the top 25 largest companies —determined by revenue or assets — in four IT-intensivesectors: IT, telecommunications, life sciences and banking.IT managerChief technical officer (CTO)General manager ITVice president ITOther3%2%2%1%7%AgeTime in current role45%3%21%30%2%8%46%17%18–29 years30–39 years 40–49 years 50–59 years 60–69 yearsLess than 1 year1–3 years 4–6 years12%17%7–9 years10 years and more38
