Mr. Johnson has served at ITS for
the past 14 years, first guiding the financial and budgeting efforts for the
agency and then assuming the role of Director of Procurement Services,
providing leadership over the enterprise technology procurement function for
Mississippi state government. A 2006
graduate of the Senator John C. Stennis State Executive Development Institute, Mr.
Johnson utilized his extensive financial data analysis background and knowledge
of state government to serve as a key member of the ITS executive management
team. Going forward, Mr. Johnson’s in-depth
understanding of information technology within ITS and throughout state
government will allow him to continue to build relationships with partner
agencies, collaborate with technical resources and colleagues on a state and national
level, and further advance Mississippi technology, both strategically and
operationally.
“The ITS Board is pleased that David Johnson has
agreed to serve as the Executive Director of ITS and the Chief Information
Officer for Mississippi,” said ITS Board Chair June Songy. “He
has provided invaluable service to ITS through the years, and we feel certain
that under his leadership ITS will continue the high performing legacy while
leading Mississippi in achieving greater technology advancements.”
