Promoted After 5 Months With NASA's Information Office
NASA Chief Information Officer Linda Cureton has announced the
appointment of Deborah Diaz as the agency's new deputy chief
information officer. Diaz will be a key member of the office that
provides information technology services to all staff.
Cureton said, "I'm delighted that we are filling this position
with a seasoned, hands-on technical leader who can immediately and
seamlessly assist with implementing strategic changes and
rebuilding the Office of the CIO."
Diaz joined the CIO's office in December as associate chief
information officer for architecture and infrastructure and
director of the Information Technology Infrastructure Integration
Program (I3P), a new initiative to consolidate the agency's
information technology and data services.
Previously, Diaz was the chief information officer for the
Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology
Directorate, where she developed and implemented $1 billion worth
of scientific programs and IT infrastructure. She also served as
the senior advisor on IT interoperability and wireless
technologies. As deputy CIO at the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office, she helped transform electronic commerce and managed
complex IT initiatives to modernize business processes and data
exchange systems.
Diaz also served as deputy associate administrator of citizen
services at the General Services Administration and as a member of
the President's Management Council, where she pioneered many of the
first e-Government initiatives. Her recognitions include two
"Federal 100" awards and the "Top 10 - IT Innovative Leaders in
Government" Award.
