Dive Brief:

• ICE named Michael Brown, a veteran executive at the Department of Homeland Security, as its new CIO.
• Some of Brown's accomplishments include the migration of 16 data centers to 2 enterprise centers, transitioning more than 100,000 employees to a private cloud e-mail service and establishing a platform-as-a- service that supports Linux.
• Brown will replace Kevin Kern, who left ICE nine months ago.

Dive Insight:

While working for the DHS, Brown acquired experience that will be useful for ICE. He served the DHS as a director of systems operations and as director of enterprise infrastructure at Customs and Border Protection. His experience is appropriate for the job because like the DHS, the ICE is also a component agency.

Brown's experience is likely to uphold the ICE's goals of moderninzing its IT systems, adapting and conforming to modern IT management disciplines and providing IT solutions throughout the organization.
