At DOJ, he created the enterprise strategy for the Department to achieve its DCOI objectives and accomplish its cloud adoption goals, as well as provided the overall enterprise vision and policies for DOJ’s future computing environment. Using the methodologies he developed and implemented to meet the intent of these programs, DCTI ultimately exceeded the targets established for the Department, which led to DOJ being recognized as employing best practices by GAO.
