Gov. Phil Scott on Monday appointed the head of a new agency that deals with digital services.
John Quinn was named secretary of digital services and chief information officer. Quinn will lead the newly formed Agency of Digital Services, created as part of Scott’s effort to modernize state government.
The agency replaced the Department of Information and Innovation as part of an overhaul of state government that Scott laid out in January in a series of executive orders.
Quinn, 37, has served as chief innovation officer since January. He has worked for the state since 2001, specializing in information technology planning, project management, operations and management.
“John has been integral in the planning of the Agency of Digital Services and in our overall strategy for modernizing state government,” Scott said in a statement. “His leadership and experience in IT and project management will continue to be incredibly valuable as we establish this agency and take a more coordinated and accountable approach to managing the state’s IT infrastructure.”
