The move comes as Orange County is establishing a new Department of Information Technology, something it expects to complete in the coming months, county officials said in an announcement. Both counties are located just north of New York City, not far from the state’s border with Connecticut.
Marchi spent seven years in the role with Dutchess County. Orange County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus praised Marchi’s experience in recent comments.
“I am pleased to have Glenn, with his extensive experience, joining County Government in this pivotal role. He brings a wealth of experience driving innovative technology transformations and is highly regarded by his peers throughout New York State,” Neuhaus said. “Glenn will play an important role in further strengthening our technology to advance our long-term strategic growth priorities and deliver services for our employees and residents. He has the leadership skills, personality, vision, and experience in County government to successfully lead the IT Department.”
Marchi will lead the IT department and be charged with developing, planning and implementing Orange County’s IT strategy.
Responsibilities include ”overseeing IT service management for IT systems and data centers, infrastructure modernization, application support, cloud computing, service level agreements, and directing continuous business improvement,” per the announcement.
He’ll also take on cybersecurity responsibilities, including “administer[ing] information security functions and practices,” reviewing compliance, establishing security learning programs, communicating threat intelligence and prioritizing security investments.
Data and data security are other focuses. Marchi will “monitor efforts to improve data-driven decision-making behaviors, including data security, data quality, and use of self-service analytics technologies while establishing the IT department’s key performance indicators, communicating risks and issues, prioritizing improvement areas, and overseeing continuous improvement plans,” the announcement said.
No deputy CIO has yet been named, said Justin Rodriguez, assistant to the county executive for Communications and Media Relations in Orange County.
