I assume VC means "venture capitalist" and will answer that.A CIO lacks the skill set to be a VC. It is a completely different world.
Best would be if they are a consultant for a VC first for a few years before sticking a toe in. I personally worked with multiple VC companies during my time at Siemens. Siemens has its own VC group and partners with VC companies across the world. I learned a lot during that time, you need to invest a lot of time and research appropriately.
You need to have a good base of knowledge in economics, preferably a masters degree. You need to be able to financially evaluate a company, you need to know or research the business you are looking at. You need reliable and trustworthy partners and subject matter experts.
Also you need access to significant funds of course...
