Federal Leadership
As Chief Data Officer at the Department of Commerce, Oliver Wise has focused on developing more efficient ways to take advantage of the data created by the agency, including standardizing data, developing a new action plan, and pushing for more automation. “[T]here’s so much more we can do to realize the Department’s full potential to apply data to power the American economy,” he wrote in a post this past April reflecting on his first year in the position. Before joining Commerce, Wise founded and directed the City of New Orleans Office of Performance and Accountability.
