California Appoints A New CIO

William Welsh writes on GCN.com:

California’s new chief information officer Teresa (Teri) Takai faces an uphill battle as she tries to help a state that has struggled historically to manage its vast and varied information technology resources. She replaces Clark Kelso, who served as state CIO for the past four years.

Takai served as director of Michigan’s Information Technology Department and state CIO since 2003. During her tenure, she restructured and consolidated Michigan’s resources by merging the state’s IT resources into one centralized department servicing 19 agencies with more than 1,700 employees.

She is well-known throughout the state and local technology community, having previously served as president of the Lexington, Ky.-based National Association of State Chief Information Officers. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced Takai’s appointment Thursday.
