Chief Cloud Officer

The CCO's primary responsibility is to ensure that an organization gets the most out of cloud computing without jeopardizing the business. The CCO leads the cloud adoption/migration from the very beginning phase of cloud needs assessments, vendor evaluation and short listing, down to deployment, maintenance and troubleshooting. The CCO's job has two main components: To align cloud solutions with business objectives and goals, and to oversee cloud operations from a technical standpoint. However, because cloud computing is largely a third-party managed solution, the CCO's key job roles also include the evaluation, design and implementation of stringent cloud security and governance measures.
