About
Abbie Lundberg
Abbie Lundberg is a business technology analyst, communication advisor and professional speaker with 21 years experience reporting and commenting on the use of technology in business. She led the award-winning CIO editorial team as Editor in Chief from 1995 through 2008. Under her stewardship, CIO became the publication of record for chief information officers and all executives interested in the use of information technology for business value and competitive advantage.
As President of Lundberg Media, Abbie helps CIOs and their senior teams translate complex issues into clear messages to speed organizational buy in and delivery of results. Whether introducing a new technology, delivering a new capability or rolling out a whole new strategy, meaningful communication is central to a CIO’s ability to effect change. Few communication consultants offer the depth of business technology insight that Lundberg Media provides, and few technology consultants can match our communication strengths. We are uniquely positioned to provide this essential service to CIOs and their teams.
In addition to her work with IT leaders, Abbie provides businesses and non-profits with media and communications services including writing, editing, presentations, research, public speaking, online strategy development and group facilitation. She works with organizations to develop online and face-to-face communities and writes and speaks about the use of technology and social media in business.
Clients include the Accenture Center for High Performance, CVS Caremark, Direct Energy, Harvard Business Review Analytic Services, and the MIT Center for Information Systems Research.
