FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Chairman AJIT PAI has removed the Interim tag and officially named CHRISTINE CALVOSA as Chief Information Officer. CALVOSA served as Acting CIO for over a year and previously served as Deputy CIO for Technology and Resiliency.

“I am delighted that Ms. CALVOSA will be serving as the FCC’s Chief Information Officer,” said PAI.  “The FCC’s aggressive agenda requires an expert and agile information technology team. That team needs a leader with deep expertise in all aspects of IT development, deployment, and information security. This is especially important because Congress last year enhanced the responsibilities of the FCC’s CIO -- responsibilities the FCC recently codified in our rules. Ms. CALVOSA is an ideal choice for this role. During her time as Acting CIO, she oversaw the information technology for the 28 GHz auction and led implementation of the FCC’s updated and modernized National Broadband Map. In short, Ms. CALVOSA has demonstrated the ability to deliver on this agency’s complex information technology requirements. I look forward to continuing to work with her.”
