What's a vCxO?

So what exactly is a vCxO? Simply put, the (v) = virtual, the C = Chief, the (x) can represent Information, Information Security, Operations or Compliance, and the O = Officer. I've held these various positions throughout my career and can bring this experience to your organization on an as-needed basis (virtual). For example, virtual Chief Information Officer - vCIO.
