Massachusetts Secretary of Administration
and Finance Leslie Kirwan on Friday announced her selection of Anne Margulies
as assistant secretary for information technology and CIO.
Margulies joins the Patrick administration from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she was the executive director of
OpenCourseWare, a large-scale Web-based initiative that provides free, worldwide
access to MIT's course materials. There she managed the development of the
project from startup into a permanent department at MIT.
From 1988 to 1998, Margulies held
information technology positions at
Harvard
University, serving as
assistant provost and executive director for information systems in her last three
years. Before joining MIT, Margulies was chief operating officer at FH-GPC, a
government relations, public affairs and communications consulting firm.
In addition to CIO, Margulies will serve as
an assistant secretary for administration and finance, demonstrating the
priority the Patrick administration places on delivering a more efficient and
accessible state government to its citizens through a strategically designed
and coordinated information technology system that stretches across the state
system.
"I'm excited to have Anne join our
team," Kirwan said. "I look forward to her steady hand and strategic
approach to making decisions."
Margulies received her B.A from the State
University of New York at
Plattsburgh.
She lives in Weston.
