Clare Martorana
Federal CIO Clare Martorana finds that developing a deep understanding of colleagues – and what motivates them – lies at the heart of great IT leadership: “By getting to know your team and learning what they’re passionate about, a good leader will find ways to get them involved in the work they care about,” she told FedScoop. Empowering them and giving staff agency over the projects they work on is also essential, according to the federal technology leader. Ensuring citizens have a seamless experience when they interact with government digital is among her top priorities, as the Office of the Federal CIO team works to implement the President’s cybersecurity and customer experience executive orders. “With each policy we launch, we’re exploring new ways to reduce burden for the federal workforce so they can deliver for the American people,” she added.
