Business Record: The chief information officer role has evolved at companies across Central Iowa, including at Casey’s General Stores. The convenience store chain did not have a CIO role until 2020, said Sanjeev Satturu, SVP & CIO at Casey’s.
In the last five years, the position has become more like a business innovator, “where we enable growth, we enable efficiencies in the whole enterprise,” he said.
