Dept. of VA: Our Vision for Digital Transformation
Description:
Why would an executive from Microsoft’s highest ranks take the helm of a federal agency undergoing a complex, highly scrutinized digital transformation? Because Dept. of Veterans Affairs Assistant Secretary for Information and Technology and CIO Kurt DelBene likes to solve problems – such as overhauling Healthcare.gov for President Obama after its disastrous launch. Kurt has a passion for technology and desire to create products that make life better. As CIO of VA, which runs the largest healthcare system in the US and is the nation’s largest benefits provider, he’s creating a technology-based healthcare system to serve Veterans and their families – and reimagining government at the same time. He will transform VA into the best IT shop in Federal government and an example for the industry.
