Political vs. career: Role of CIO remains unsettled
Listen now
Description
The Department of Housing and Urban Development is looking for a new chief information officer. HUD is now one of five major agencies looking for a new technology leader. But unlike the departments of Defense and Health and Human Services, and the Small Business Administration and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the HUD CIO didn’t actually leave the agency to create the job opening.

HUD decided to move the CIO’s position back to a career one from a political one. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
