Chief Data Officer
City of []

The collection and need for data continues to grow exponentially in organizations. Increasingly, data itself–outside of application–has values supporting organizations mission and activities.

Chief Technology Officer
City of []

Ranging from automating previously manual workflows to adding sensors to the physical environment, the technology industry is changing the way citizens live and work. This is why governments need senior leadership, savvy with modern technologies, eager to experiment with new tools, and capable of working through the bureaucracy to show what’s possible.

The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) serves this role in the city of []. Positioned alongside — but distinct from, the Chief Information Officer (CIO) — the CTO works to drive city operations forward, placing City Hall and the city overall in an ideal position for the use of new technologies and tools. 

The CTO plays both and internal and external role: piloting City Hall innovations, such as new apps or tools, one hand, and arranging creative partnerships with the private sector, such as telecom providers, on the other. For both, the CTO leverages a strong grasp of trends in the technology sector and a production connection

- *Citizen-first experience*: In the private sector, simple, beautiful, and easy to use technology has become commonplace -- and that’s happened because user-centric technologists have prioritized user needs and experiences.

- *Default to open*: Any technology put in place will generate massi
