The General Services Administration announced on March 11 that CIO Sonny Hashmi will soon leave his position for the private sector. Hashmi, who has not yet announced where he will work next, is leaving an agency where he managed a $600 million IT budget.
A daily tweeter, Hashmi was named by
Government Technology as
worth following on Twitter, and identified as a key strategist for the federal government’s move to
modernize its redundant legacy applications.
Who will replace Hashmi is not evident. One
rumored candidate is Associate CIO for Enterprise Infrastructure David Shive.
