Читать книгу Digital Government Excellence - Siim Sikkut - Страница 42

I probably have a very eclectic route and background. I started in government, moved over to the private sector for four or five years in a Canadian tech company. Then I came back because I needed a break from traveling and ran some of our national museums. Knowing tech and getting to know some of the senior leadership in Canada through my work, people started asking if I would be interested in taking the government CIO job.

I said “no” at first, like every sane person should. Then after talking about it a little bit, I realized that maybe it would be a good thing for me to take a stab at it, having always been around the tech scene and around the public sector in Ottawa. I had a commitment in my head that I would do it for about three years.
