Dave Scher, former managing director of MITRE Labs Infrastructure and Networking Innovation Center, was elevated to the role of deputy chief information officer at the not-for-profit corporation, he announced in a LinkedIn post Sunday.
The executive has been with MITRE for over a decade, starting as a project lead in 2011. He then assumed roles of increasing responsibility, including head of the cyber infrastructure department and director of NetCentric infrastructure.
As the technical director of Nuclear enterprise division, Scher was responsible for teaming across Department of Defense acquisition, command and war fighting organizations to support strategic deterrence and the command, control and communications capabilities needed in the future.
Scher, when he was a department head, managed a 50 staff technical team tasked to deliver IT offerings focusing on integration between business applications and the underlying infrastructure.
