WASHINGTON \u2014 The U.S. Army\u2019s top civilian information technology official is stepping down a little more than two years after taking the post and promising dramatic digital change in the military\u2019s largest service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief Information Officer Raj Iyer announced his departure Jan. 4 on LinkedIn<\/a>. Iyer\u2019s exit will take several weeks, and no specific date is yet set, he told C4ISRNET and Army Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Further inquiries were directed to his office, which did not immediately respond. It\u2019s not immediately clear who will succeed Iyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In his announcement on social media, Iyer, who previously worked at audit, advisory, tax and consulting services firm Deloitte, said he took the CIO gig in 2020 after reflecting on the lackluster state of Army IT. The Department of Defense<\/a> is often criticized for moving far too slowly when compared with the agility of commercial companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
