The December-January 2026 edition of CIO Africa magazine features Deborah Mutungi, Group IT Manager at Sarova Hotels & Resorts, who was crowned CIO of the Year 2025 at the CIO100 Symposium & Awards 2025 event.

This year-end CIO100 Winners special issue showcases the award-winning projects from the event, revealing groundbreaking initiatives that are setting new benchmarks for digital innovation across Africa.

As a capstone to 2025 and bridge to 2026, this edition not only celebrates the year’s most impactful technology leaders and projects recognized at the CIO100 Awards but also charts the trajectory for Africa’s digital future, where climate action and AI innovation converge to create sustainable solutions for the continent’s unique challenges.
