The City’s Department of Information Technology directs and manages the development and ongoing operations of all IT services provided to City departments. The Department is comprised of six bureaus under the Chief Technology Officer.
“I want to thank Mayor Evans for the opportunity to step into the position of a lifetime,” said Fisher. “I have learned from the best right here in Rochester, and am thankful for the mentorship of leaders before me. In addition to supporting the important and good work the team is already doing, I look forward to engaging even more young people and encouraging them to explore the IT field.”
