King County, with a population of nearly 2.2 million residents and home to Seattle, earned a first place ranking in the Center for Digital Government’s* 2017 Digital Counties Survey. The county was singled out for its use of cloud technology, yielding cost savings and reducing greenhouse gases by virtualizing servers and decommissioning mainframe computers.
Over the last several years, the King County IT department was reimagined by Kehoe into a consolidated, enterprise organization. Hannah will likely continue to develop the department along those lines.
“Tanya’s role is to take us to the next level with customers and products, services and capability delivery,” said Jamie Holter, communications manager for King County IT.
“Our award-winning team of IT professionals has established King County as a national leader in using technology to improve the quality of life in our community,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine in a statement. “Tanya has exactly what I wanted for our next Chief Information Officer: The proven ability to lead creative, innovative teams committed to continuous improvement.”
