Keith Jones
Keith Jones stepped into the CIO role, which comes with the rank of assistant secretary of State, in January — leaving the consulting firm the Edgewater Group, which he founded. He was the first CIO the Biden administration appointed among the seven agencies with politically appointed CIOs. Prior to entering the private sector, he’d served six years as deputy CIO of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. His team is currently working to bolster IT contracting services and strategic sourcing with new hires.
