Gov. John Hickenlooper on Thursday named Oracle executive Kristin Russell to the newly created position of secretary of technology and said she will also be his chief information officer.
The state has always had a chief information officer. It was fully expected that Hickenlooper, a Democrat elected in November, would name his own. But secretary of technology is a post that didn’t exist under Bill Ritter, although there was one in the Bill Owens administration.
Russell is now the vice president of global IT service operations at Oracle and is “responsible for all data centers and computing operations worldwide,” Hickenlooper’s office said.
