CHIEF NETWORKING OFFICER

'Chief networking officer' (''CNO'') is either a computer networking position or a business networking position in a company or other organization.
In 1999, the chief networking officer at Sun Microsystems was "responsible for network strategy, Advanced Network product Development and translation to line products of future networking and distributed computing technologies." The chief networking officer reported to the chief technical officer.[1]
In 2006, the chief networking officer at the Wharton Global Business Forum in India was expected to "manage the process of speaker identification, outreach, communication, on-boarding and event related logistics (in partnership with the chief operating officer). [The] CNO should work towards a goal of attracting world class speakers, across geographies and disciplines, each of whom has a passion and vision for the economic and social development of India . The CNO must ensure a strong synergy between the speakers, panels and encompassing theme of WIEF 2006."[2]
In a business network context, a chief networking officer may manage the social capital of a company. The CNO connects people and businesses within the company, with other companies, as well as with consumers, hence facilitating know-how transfer and information flow, and allowing for profits to grow.
There is an ongoing major academic discussion related to the issue of CNOs in modern business.
Most of the original and current awareness of the 'CNO' concept has been performed by David A. Hall. Hall is known as the GuruConnector for his networking passion.
