"He understands firsthand the operational realities, constraints, frustrations, and opportunities that agency technology leaders face every day. I am looking forward to working with him as he brings that ground-truth knowledge into the federal policy process, helping us better interpret agency pain points and translate them into practical, effective government-wide direction."
Thomas Flagg has been appointed as deputy to Federal Chief Information Officer Gregory Barbaccia. Flagg currently serves as CIO for the Education Department, a position he has held since fall 2024, and previously worked at the Labor Department for over 11 years.
