Does a CIO need to be industry specific?

There are pros and cons to having an industry-specific CIO :

 

On the one hand, an industry-specific CIO can understand the intricacies of the industry and how technology can be used to improve business processes within that industry. On the other hand, an industry-specific CIO may not have the broader understanding of business that a more experienced CIO would have gathered from multiple industries, which could limit their ability to provide strategic direction for the company as a whole. When you utilize the services of a CIO that is not Industry-specific, there is more room for innovation through the import of ideas from other industries
