Martha Norrick left the job about four months ago and the position remains unfilled.
Her LinkedIn now lists her as founder of Backbone Strategies. She held various jobs for the city since 2014, and worked as chief analytics officer since 2022.
Norrick could not be reached for immediate comment.
She is also now listed as a member of the technology transition committee for Zohran Mamdani, scheduled to take over as mayor on Jan. 1.
The Democratic Socialist has kept relatively mum about his plans for technology but he has notably criticized police surveillance by the New York Police Department.
Among the programs for which Mamdani will inherit ultimate responsibility is a “smart city” incubator program and efforts to improve digital equity.
The outgoing mayor, Eric Adams, spent the last part of his tenure promoting New York City as a center for artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency and blockchain.
As for Norrick, she was known for helping to expand data literacy and access for city residents, including via the NYC Open Data portal. That tool preceded her time as chief analytics officer, but she continued to promote it and associated tech during her tenure.
Recent data sets include comprehensive — and free — information about cooling towers, green infrastructure projects, carshare locations and sea level rise maps.
The program also offers training for would-be open data ambassadors.
The program has trained more than 4,000 people, according to Ray Legendre, senior communications director of the city's Office of Technology and Innovation.
