The Braveheart CIO grew from Benedetto Conversano’s more than three decades of experience leading technology and digital transformation across different industries, cultures, and business models. Throughout his career, he saw how organizations often treated technology as a separate function rather than as an integral part of the business.

Inspired by these experiences, Benedetto wrote the book to challenge the traditional role of the CIO and encourage technology leaders to become strategic business leaders. Through real experiences, lessons, and insights, he explores how CIOs can bridge the gap between business and technology, navigate legacy systems, manage innovation, and help shape what organizations become.
