Vicki Hildebrand, formerly vice president for customer and partner advocacy at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, has joined the Transportation Department as chief information officer, Federal News Radio reported Tuesday.
Hildebrand succeeds Richard McKinney, who left DOT in January to join AECOM as VP of enterprise information technology strategy.
The report said Hildebrand is expected to continue several programs that McKinney initiated at the agency, including the implementation of the Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act.
Hildebrand held the roles of senior director for global business services, director for IT and senior chief for enterprise services IT at HPE’s predecessor Hewlett-Packard before the company split into two firms.
