CTO brings National Guard perspective to West Virginia

Given the significant priority that security has attained among chief information officers in all sectors, it is not surprising that several new state CIO appointees have extensive security backgrounds. West Virginia’s Joshua Spence confirmed this. He was a chief information security officer before becoming state chief technology officer — a job which has the duties of a CIO but with a different title. Spence has also spent two decades with the West Virginia Air National Guard. He joined Ask the CIO: SLED Edition to discuss his goals with John Thomas Flynn.
