AltoPartners: Social Media & The C-Suite – New Roles, New Engagement, New Opportunities

For better or for worse, social media is not going anywhere. 4.5 billion of the world's population uses some kind of social media. This ever-growing phenomenon got organizations involved and in recent times, having a social media account for your company is almost a requirement.

• By a more than 5 to 1 ratio, employees prefer to work for a CEO who uses digital and social media.
• 60% of employees considering joining a company will research a CEO’s social media accounts.
