NASA has appointed Sean Gallagher as the agency\u2019s chief information officer (CIO), responsible for its portfolio of information technology products and services. Gallagher had been serving as acting CIO since January, and the agency said his permanent role is effective immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cSean Gallagher\u2019s leadership has been instrumental in strengthening NASA\u2019s IT foundation and ensuring our workforce has the secure, modern tools needed to enable groundbreaking missions every day,\u201d NASA Deputy Administrator Matt Anderson said. \u201cAs CIO, Sean will continue advancing the agency\u2019s technology capabilities to support discovery, innovation, and mission success across NASA.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before the appointment, Gallagher served as deputy CIO for operations in NASA\u2019s Office of the Chief Information Officer at headquarters in Washington, as well as a senior adviser for transformation. NASA said the team provides services to tens of thousands of end users in the US and abroad, and that Gallagher worked with NASA centres to implement IT operating models.<\/p>\n

Gallagher previously served as CIO of NASA\u2019s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, leading IT initiatives supporting aeronautics, space, research and engineering, and test missions. He joined NASA in 2012 as Glenn\u2019s deputy CIO and earlier worked at Booz Allen Hamilton as a senior associate supporting federal, defence, and commercial customers.<\/p>\n
