Climbing a different mountain
For some CIOs and CISOs, they don’t want to see another board room ever again, and their retirement is all about grandkids, golf, travel, or sitting on a beach.
Each of these is also a great option. It just depends on how you are wired and whether you can adjust from your career to the post-career stage and be happy with this change.
Good luck with retirement – finding true purpose beyond work is important. Many will have spent over 40 years working in different roles to reach this point and can choose what to do next.
Retirement to me is all about focusing on living well and building your bucket list. Your career as a CIO or CISO will have been a long journey of learning, and this stage is no different.
