NEW YORK - June 23, 2026 - Thomas Prommer has been named to the HotTopics Global CIO for 2026, a peer-nominated, independently judged award of the world's most influential digital and technology leaders. Prommer is a technology executive and AI advisor who works by a plain motto: "Building Technology. Chasing Finish Lines."

Prommer has more than 20 years leading digital transformation for Fortune 100 companies. He has run engineering organizations of 1,000+ people across global business with responsibility for IT budgets greater $1B. As President of Huge Inc., he led digital transformation for clients including McDonald's, Google, Apple, and Toyota, built nearshore engineering operations, and managed Enterprise-level engagements worth more than $10 million budgets.

Among other roles, today Prommer works as an AI strategy consultant and fractional CIO and CTO, helping companies raise their AI maturity and turn strategy into systems that ship. He channels that work through his role as Group CEO at We The Flywheel and publisher of the AI Strategy Guide. He co-founded Flywheel Motion, a mission-led brand personal brand accelerator platform and created CTAIO, a mission-led community for technology and AI leaders with a newsletter and a podcast.

The recognition lands the same month as another. Last week the Fast Company World Changing Ideas Awards recognized Flywheel Motion, which Prommer co-founded with Andi Cross.

WHAT THE GLOBAL CIO 100 IS:

The HotTopics Global CIO 100 is produced by HotTopics, an intelligence platform for the C-suite technology community. Each year it names the most influential digital, technology, and AI leaders in the world: the CIOs, CTOs, and CDOs who set technology direction inside large organizations. Honorees are chosen by peer nomination and independent editorial review, not by self-submission or paid entry. That makes the list a read on standing among practitioners rather than a placement you can buy. HotTopics revealed the 2026 list on June 22, 2026.
