Looks like Presslor is purging the retailer's ranks and putting his guys in place as the CIO of Disney jumps ship to join the Gap (emphasis mine:

"Mr. Tasooji, 46, will oversee the company's global management information systems. He will report to Byron Pollitt, Chief Financial Officer and serve on the company's Executive Leadership Team, led by Mr. Pressler. He joins Gap Inc. from The Walt Disney Company, where he was Senior Vice President and CIO. Prior to that role, Mr. Tasooji held various senior IT positions within Disney. He worked with Mr. Pollitt at Disney's theme parks division, where Mr. Pollitt was CFO prior to joining Gap. In addition to his Disney experience, Mr. Tasooji was the Vice President of Application Systems at Bergen Brunswig Corporation. He also has worked at Columbia Pictures Studio and Getty Oil Company."

What does the I in CIO stand for?

Information? Internet? Internal? Intelligence? Idiot?

Presser did wonderful things to the Gap. I have no objections to him bringing people in. Retail is his thing.

What does the CIO do? Is he the one who ultimately commands the internet moles and facilitators?

Who is Disney's CIO?

The CIO is generally in charge of all things computer-related. Network infrastructure, mainframe- and server-related hardware and software, software development, desktop support, etc. all usually fall under a CIO.

Yep. Isn't that the way it is? Just interesting to watch as Pressler does so.
