Carole Post is an Executive Vice President at New York Law School and serves as its first Chief Strategy Officer. She was formerly the Commissioner of the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT) and New York City's Chief Information Officer (CIO).[1] [2] [3] She was appointed by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on December 30, 2009 and assumed the official position on January 19, 2010.[4] [5] [6] She is the first woman to have held this office at the City of New York.[7] She resigned from DoITT to take the position at New York Law School in April 2012. [8]

Background

Carole Post is a native of Bradenton, Florida. She received a B.S. from the University of Florida and a law degree from Seton Hall University. [9] She is licensed to practice law in New York and Florida. In March 2011, Commissioner Post was recognized as one of the country's top 50 government CIOs [10]by InformationWeek which recognized her "technology vision" and "ability to show tangible measurable results."

Career

After graduating from the University of Florida, Post joined Plan Services, Inc. in Tampa, Florida - a division of Dun and Bradstreet. She rose to a national representative position and thereafter was appointed an executive director. Post remained at Plan Services, Inc. for five years.

Post left her corporate position to attend Seton Hall University Law School in Newark, New Jersey. Upon graduating, Post became the first female associate at a private law firm in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. She worked in the municipal law department where she represented local municipal governments in Palm Beach County.

In 1999, one of her clients, the City of Palm Beach Gardens, hired her as Acting City Manager. It was in this position that Post first started to deal with matters involving information technology, particularly concerning the operational and technical issues related to the new millennium. She served in this capacity until mid-2000.

New York City Career

Before her appointment as Commissioner of DoITT, Post served as Director of Agency Services in the New York City Mayor's Office of Operations. At the beginning of 2006, former Deputy Mayor for Operations Daniel L. Doctoroff selected Post to help undertake a restructuring of the Mayor's Office of Operations. She led a team of technical and policy advisors who oversaw City agency performance and coordinated strategic initiatives deemed vital to advancing Mayor Bloomberg's vision for New York City.

In this role, Post led the development and implementation of numerous complex, multi-agency and citywide initiatives that have been instrumental in improving transparency and accountability across City operations including: the Mayor's Citywide Performance Reporting (CPR) system[11] - a public web-based dashboard that provides a user-friendly view of overall Citywide performance over time, as well as critical performance measures for more than 40 City agencies, plus year-to-date comparisons and long-term trends; NYCStat[12] - an online portal that provides a clearinghouse of dozens of performance and information-related tools about City agency operations; a modernized and electronic version of the Mayor's Management Report (MMR); and the award-winning NYC Stimulus Tracker[13] tool which provides unprecedented visibility and transparency into how federal stimulus funds are being spent around New York City.

Before her role in the Mayor's Office of Operations, Post served as Executive Director of Strategic Planning at the New York City Department of Buildings. One of her chief accomplishments at the Department connects with her later work at DoITT: At the beginning of the decade, the Building Department's Staten Island office was still using typewriters to process certificates of occupancy. Post led the team that modernized the operation, creating a new "model" for production of certificates of occupancy. She then led the effort to implement the advancements made on Staten Island at each of the Building Department's borough offices.

Post joined the New York City Department of Buildings by responding to a job posting in the New York Times for deputy director of a zoning enforcement unit. She rose to head of the unit, which enforces zoning requirements for signs and for commercial and industrial businesses operating in New York City.

When Michael Bloomberg took office in 2002, he named Patricia Lancaster as Buildings Commissioner. Lancaster tapped Post and others to lead a team to research and produce a 120-day report on the state of the agency. Afterward, the commissioner appointed Post to executive director of strategic planning to implement the recommendations she had developed for the 120-day report.

On April 12, 2012, Post announced her resignation from DoITT to become Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer for the incoming President and Dean of New York Law School, Anthony Crowell.

Achievements

Some of Post's accomplishments include:

  • Designing, developing and implementing the NYC Stimulus Tracker, a comprehensive, interactive database that allows the public to track Federal stimulus funding allocated to New York City. The system tracks the process from federal appropriation, to distribution to City recipients, and includes reporting on jobs created by each program as well as mapping capability to review where stimulus dollars have been allocated across the City. The Stimulus Tracker has received national acclaim, including a Digital Government Achievement award from the Center for Digital Government [14].
  • Implementing the Street Conditions Observation Unit (SCOUT)[15] which helps address quality of life conditions on New York City's streets. SCOUT is a team of inspectors that traverse each of New York City's approximately 6,000 miles of streets once per month and report conditions that negatively impact quality of life. SCOUT inspectors use smart phones to record the location of a condition and immediately transmit the information to 311 - the City's Customer Service Center - for appropriate follow-up. [16]
  • Reforming the way the City addresses graffiti, by implementing a streamlined process that resulted in nearly double the number of graffiti sites being cleaned. She did so by spearheading efforts to secure passage of legislation to make it easier and more efficient for the City to clean graffiti sites.
  • Passing legislation to reform the City's Environmental Control Board (ECB) and to restructure it as an entity within the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH) rather than the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). By aligning ECB with OATH, the City's flagship administrative tribunal, ECB has been better positioned to modernize and professionalize its operation and improve the way it interacts with the public.
  • Implementing the Citywide IT Services (CITIServ) program, which consolidates more than 50 separate data centers into a unified, shared services environment. [17]
  • Securing a landmark citywide licensing agreement with Microsoft which leverages the City's buying power on behalf of all city agencies.[18] This agreement consolidates dozens of disparate licensing agreements across the City into one and provides more than 100,000 City employees with state-of-the-art computing power. It is projected to save New York City taxpayers an estimated $50 million over five years. [19]
  • Leading negotiations with McAfee to procure enterprise workstation security software and services for a five-year term, achieving an estimated savings of $18 million over that period. [20]
