Carlos Rivero, former chief data officer for the Commonwealth of Virginia, has been appointed vice president of data and analytics at Columbia, Maryland-based technology provider GCOM.
He comes to the company with more than 25 years of technology experience as it looks to expand in the data and analytics services market, GCOM said Thursday.
Rivero helped the Virginia government roll out IT platforms such as the state’s Secure Analytics and Governance Environment, or DataSAGE, and Framework for Addiction Analysis and Community Transformation during his CDO tenure from 2018 to November 2021.
His public sector career also includes service at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service as physical scientist and the Federal Transit Administration as the agency’s first chief data officer and chief enterprise architect.
GCOM said its acquisitions of Qlarion in May 2021 and ASR Analytics in January 2022 were the company’s transactions in the data analytics space.
