Share with us a short bio of yourself.

I am currently a senior advisor at the GPL and an IT consultant to state and local government. I previously served as CIO and senior advisor in the Office of the Governor, State of Illinois, and have held executive positions for Cook County, Illinois, the City of Chicago and the City of Alexandria, Virginia. I was the state lead on Illinois’ SIB Lab project to increase support for at-risk youth who are involved in both the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. I co-chaired the Illinois Human Services Commission in 2012-14 and led the implementation of Budgeting for Results – Illinois' performance reporting and budgeting framework. At Cook County and the State of Illinois I led open data initiatives, planning and implementation of IT governance, enterprise architecture, health information exchange, state-owned broadband, IT shared services and ERP. I taught public policy and administration courses at Northwestern University and the University of Illinois at Chicago. I have a B.A. in economics from Northwestern University and an M.A. in urban and quantitative economics from the University of Illinois.
