Bobby George Exits Carrier After an Eight-Year Stint
Bobby George has stepped down from Carrier after eight years with the company, most recently serving as Senior Vice President and Chief Information & Digital Officer.
- Outgoing: Bobby George
- Role: Senior Vice President and Chief Information & Digital Officer, Carrier
- Tenure: eight years
- Experience: more than 25 years in digital transformation, technology and business strategy
- Next role: to be announced, according to George
A Long Run in a Combined Digital and IT Role
George shared the news on LinkedIn and said he would soon be announcing his next move, without giving further detail at this stage.
Eight years in a single technology leadership role at one company is a long run by the standards of enterprise IT and digital leadership, where tenures of three to five years are more typical as CIOs move between companies to broaden their remit. Holding both the Chief Information Officer and Chief Digital Officer titles together also suggests George's mandate at Carrier covered both keeping the lights on and driving forward digital transformation, rather than splitting those functions across two executives.
His more than 25 years of experience spans digital transformation, technology and business strategy broadly, positioning him for either another combined CIO-CDO role or a narrower digital transformation mandate depending on where he lands next.
