As new head of the Information Services Agency, Patrick replaces former CIO Ken Clark, who served in the position for more than four years between 2016 and January. Patrick has been serving as interim CIO since January, when Clark left to become city controller, according to Inside Indiana Business.
Patrick is the agency's first Black CIO, Inside Indiana Business reports.
Before his recent promotion, Patrick served in a variety of roles for ISA, starting as a business services consultant in 2014. Between then and now, Patrick also served as chief financial officer and then chief operating officer, according to his LinkedIn. He also has substantial private-sector experience — having previously been employed with public accounting tech firm Crowe Horwath for more than eight years.
Throughout his time with the city, Patrick facilitated a number of initiatives — including his recent effort as interim CIO to transition the city-county enterprise to telework.
He holds a degree in accounting from the University of Notre Dame.
