About Whitney S.

Technology Leader with Expertise in City Government Modernization As the former Deputy Chief Information Officer for the City of New Orleans, I brought together a unique combination of fiscal acumen and effective technical leadership to my role. Through my experiences in coordinating technology roadmap design and budget management functions for city government operations, I have built a track record of excellence in driving high-impact improvements, as well as ensuring the success of IT modernization projects. With tremendous passion for cultivating an IT organization that greatly values excellence, empowerment, and diversity, I have generated positive outcomes in the following endeavors: • Designing an IT strategic plan and corresponding goals that align with the long-term objectives of the organization and the broader community. • Exercising executive leadership duties in the definition and implementation of flexible, scalable, cost-effective, and secure technology solutions. • Assessing emerging technologies to determine their strategic impact and applicability in addressing the needs of a community. • Formulating an operational framework to ensure that internal and external IT systems are fully secure, and able to meet regulatory requirements.
