FCC Taps Francisco Salguero As CIO

Salguero

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Chairman AJIT PAI has confirmed previous reports and officially announced that U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Deputy Chief Information Officer FRANCISCO SALGUERO has joined the Commission as Chief Information Officer. SALGUERO is filling the role left vacant by the exit of CHRISTINE CALVOSA for a private sector job in MAY and occupied by JOHN SKUDLAREK as Acting CIO since her departure.

“I am delighted that Mr. SALGUERO has agreed to serve as our Chief Information Officer,” said PAI.  “The Commission’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.  During his tenure at the U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Mr. SALGUERO demonstrated the ability to deliver on the agency’s complex information technology requirements.  I look forward to him applying that same technical expertise to our operations at the Commission.” 

On SKUDLAREK's service, PAI added, “Thank you to JOHN for his willingness to step up and lead our IT team during this transition.  His expertise and hard work have been invaluable to the Commission.”
