Energy Department CIO Karen Evans will become the most powerful IT manager in government. President Bush said he intends to name Evans administrator of the Office of Electronic Government in the Office of Management and Budget in September 2003. She replaces Mark Forman, the government's first E-administrator, who resigned last month to take a job at a Silicon Valley startup.

 

Before becoming Energy CIO, the career government manager served as director of IS management and assistant director of IS at the Justice Department. Earlier in her career, Evans held the post of deputy director at the Agriculture Department's application-management division. Evans holds an MBA from West Virginia University.

 

As E-administrator, Evans will chair the federal government's CIO Council, a panel of departmental and major agency CIOs that develops government IT policies, procedures, and processes. She now serves as the council's vice chair. The E-administrator's post was established as part of the E-Government Act of 2002.
