The Global CIO Forum Academy has announced a strategic partnership with the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School to deliver world-class executive education programs tailored for technology and business leaders.

Through this collaboration, members of the Global CIO Forum community will gain access to specialized courses that address the most pressing challenges and opportunities in today’s digital economy. Upcoming programs include the Oxford AI Ethics, Regulations and Compliance Programme, the Oxford Cyber Security for Business Leaders Programme, and the Oxford Fintech Programme.

These initiatives are designed to equip CIOs and senior executives with cutting-edge knowledge, global best practices, and practical frameworks to lead responsibly in an era defined by artificial intelligence, cybersecurity risks, and disruptive financial technologies.

Tushar Sahoo, Founder of Global CIO Forum, said: “This partnership with Oxford Saïd Business School reflects our commitment to empowering CIOs and digital leaders with the skills and insights needed to thrive in the exponential tech era. By blending Oxford’s academic excellence with the real-world challenges of our community, we are creating unique opportunities for leaders to elevate their impact globally.”

Mark Bramwell, CDIO of Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, added: “We are delighted to collaborate with the Global CIO Forum Academy in bringing Oxford’s executive education programs to such an influential community of technology leaders. These programs will not only expand technical knowledge but also strengthen ethical, strategic, and leadership capabilities for the digital age.”

Anushree Dixit, Chief Strategy Officer of Global CIO Forum, added: “The pace of technological change demands that our leaders are equipped not just with technical know-how but with ethical and strategic frameworks to guide their decisions. This partnership with Oxford Saïd Business School allows us to offer programs that address this dual imperative — empowering CIOs to lead with confidence, responsibility, and global perspective.”

The partnership represents a milestone in the mission of the Global CIO Forum Academy to provide continuous learning opportunities, foster responsible innovation, and prepare digital leaders for the future of business and society.
