About Aspiring CXOs Awards

The Aspiring CXOs Awards 2025 (ACA) is an initiative designed to identify, recognize, and nurture exceptional talent in the fields of cybersecurity, risk management, and emerging technologies. Its primary goal is to inspire and empower the next generation of CXOs, who will play a pivotal role in strengthening global defenses against ever-evolving threats in the digital landscape.

The Aspiring CXOs Awards is a unique initiative uniting mentors and mentees to fasten the industry growth. Senior C-level executives like CISOs, CTOs, and CIOs, renowned for their expertise in IT, cybersecurity, and risk management, select mentees through a rigorous process based on their potential, dedication, and drive for growth. These mentees receive exclusive mentorship, gaining invaluable insights and guidance to excel in their professional journeys. The Mentors (CXOs) are eligible for the Leadership Award, while the Mentees (C1 level executives) are affiliated with the Aspiring CXOs Awards.

This is a year-long mentorship program and a Multi-partner event.
