WASHINGTON \u2014 Information technology company ServiceNow named Raj Iyer, the U.S. Army\u2019s first civilian chief information officer, as its global head of public sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iyer joins ServiceNow in the newly created position weeks after leaving the Army, where he sat atop the service\u2019s IT sprawl and oversaw a $16 billion budget, which included hundreds of millions of dollars for cloud<\/a> in fiscal 2023. The company announced the hire March 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRaj is the best of the best,\u201d ServiceNow CEO Bill McDermott said in a statement. \u201cHe\u2019s the perfect leader to accelerate the mission critical nature of the work we do with governments around the world, to transform experiences for employees, service members, and citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iyer in January said he would depart his military role<\/a> after two and a half years, and return to industry. He previously worked at Deloitte, an international consulting firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his new gig, Iyer will focus on digital transformation \u2014 a buzzy phrase often used to describe the embrace of new tech and the ditching of dated practices \u2014 across international markets, including in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the U.K. and the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
