CIO Scholarship Fund

We are a non profit organization that seeks to provide schools with endowments to create scholarship opportunities for students in the information systems, computer science, and related technology fields.

In 2002 a group of Silicon Valley Chief Information Officers were selected to collaborate on what would become a series of books dedicated to the profession of information technology.  In 2003, these CIOs agreed to establish a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation so that 100% of profits could go towards educating our future information technology leaders.  Since its inception multiple authors on books related to information technology and security have dedicated profits in part or whole to the fund. In 2010, the CIOs combined efforts to hold the first annual CIO Scholarship Fund Golf fundraising event that brings together over 150 IT Execs, Tech Vendors, and Volunteers a year.

Responsibilities: Help engage with Student Alumni and activate University Partnerships.

I respond quicker on the "Us in Tech App" :)

“Kendrick was hired by his client (Agari) in the Fall of 2017, where he made an immediate impact. After crushing his numbers that quarter, he was named “SDR of the Year” at their Sales Kick-Off Event in 2018. He parlayed that success into a closing role, where he set the world on fire (hitting for over 114% of his quota) and landed a spot in President’s Club. In the Spring of 2019, he accepted a new role at Radware, where he assists in managing Major Accounts in the West (including heavy weights like eBay, Workday, Salesforce, and Twitter). Aside from keeping those big tech players happy, he also has responsibility to find/close net new business.” – 2019 memoryBlue Phenom Award Finalist

Favorite Quote: “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” ― Thomas A. Edison

^ Love this, taking a glass-half-full approach. Failing is key to growth. And typically you must fail at first before reaching the solution.

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski: “Don’t take your culture for granted. There needs to be a constant renewal of values that leads to camaraderie.”
