NASA Has A New (Acting) CIO
Jeff Seaton Named Acting NASA Chief Information Officer
“NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine has named Jeff Seaton as the agency’s acting Chief Information Officer, following the retirement of Renée Wynn on April 30. Previous to this appointment, Seaton served as the Deputy Chief Information Officer where he supported the leadership and integration of NASA corporate and mission critical IT functions and capabilities, as well as oversaw NASA’s annual IT spending of more than $2 billion. He collaboratively provided oversight for agencywide, mission-enabling functions related to IT investments, IT modernization efforts, cybersecurity, and the delivery of enterprisewide IT and information solutions.”
Keith’s note: Well Jeff, you were the Deputy CIO so you should know how royally screwed up and borderline useless your organization is. Best of luck.

Hey Keith, how about you give Jeff a break? He’s just taken over the organization. Just saying, your comment is a rather mean welcome, especially to the helm of an organization that has indeed been plagued with problems. So far, NASA’s CIO organization has stepped up and is keeping all the systems running during the Pandemic, allowing people to do their jobs from home. This is no small feat. I understand that complaining and criticizing can be useful in bringing attention to and resolving problems. However, Jeff is now in charge of the CIO organization. He is no longer the Deputy. Give him some time. So far, his organization is the glue that is keeping the agency running.
Hey “Anonymous User” he’s been there for years as deputy. If he just showed up then I’d just say “welcome”. And reading the various GAO and OIG reports over the past 20 years it is abundantly clear that the CIO is not exactly in charge of a lot of IT things. Just sayin’
