City Council Confirms New Chief Technology Officer

SEATTLE - City Council unanimously approved Michael Mattmiller as Chief Technology Officer and Director of the Department of Information Technology (DoIT) today.

"Michael brings new energy and a fresh perspective to solving technology solutions and operating more efficiently," said Councilmember Bruce Harrell, chair of the Public Safety, Civil Rights and Technology Committee. "I look forward to working with Michael to make Seattle the most innovative city when it comes to use of technology in government."

As CTO, Mr. Mattmiller will manage a department that has about 200 employees and an annual budget of $41.8 million. DoIT is responsible for the City's main data center, Seattle.gov website, the Seattle Channel, the City's fiber network, the City's data and telephone network, the Public Safety Radio network and cable franchises. DoIT develops common standards, architectures and business solutions as part of policy planning to City departments and manages the City's technology infrastructure to serve Seattle's residents and businesses.

Mr. Mattmiller most recently worked as a Senior Strategist for Enterprise Cloud Privacy at Microsoft. From 2005 to 2013, he worked in the Washington DC-area on risk assurance and data management consulting work for PricewaterhouseCoopers. Mattmiller earned a Masters in Information Systems Technology from George Washington University.

DoIT has three key objectives:

  1. Serve the information needs of our residents, businesses, NGO partners and visitors to Seattle, with government information and data solutions available across web, mobile and television platforms.
  2. Lead by providing our internal City customers (employees and departments) innovative communication and information technology solutions that support effective and efficient services to our constituents.
  3. Make Seattle a national municipal leader in championing technology access and affordability for all the people of our City.
