The government’s most ‘social’ chief information officer

An interview with David A Bray, the chief information officer of the Federal Communications Commission. David Bray is modernizing the FCC’s information technology systems to better meet mission needs. He tweets as @fcc_cio and was named the most social CIO in the world for 2015 by Forbes magazine. Bray talked about his transformation efforts and his views on leading people.

When asked, "What issues should government information technology leaders be focused on?" Brag said, "We need leaders who do more than keep the trains running on time. CIOs and CEOs can work together to digitally transform how an enterprise operates. As the FCC’s CIO, my primary role is that of a digital diplomat who partners with the 18 different offices of the commission to best use digital technologies to achieve their missions, whether it be dealing with satellites, wireless communications, enforcement or public safety issues."
