Cloud executive demand soars due to Covid-19, data shows

According to findings from executive search company Leadership Capital Group, queries for senior cloud executives in the digital realm are up 224% since March.

The company said there was an ‘acute need for organisations to execute an effective cloud strategy.’ Findings were based on search requests for cloud executives globally between March and July 2020. Job titles in particular demand included chief technology officer (CTO), chief digital revenue officer, SVP cloud, as well as EVPs and managing directors in infrastructure services, cloud services, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Marc Lewis, CEO of Leadership Capital Group, said ‘steady growth’ in cloud-based search requests had been replaced by ‘skyrocketed’ demand during the pandemic.

“Finding the right person is like the difference between a developer and an architect,” he added. “What you really want is someone who is like a general manager of cloud services who actually understands the whole ecosystem. They need to evaluate what things are computer engineering vs computer science, what things should go to a specialised cloud service, and what can go to the mega providers.
