Jessica Tisch Named CIO for New York City

jessica_tisch
December 9, 2019
NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio appointed Jessica Tisch as Commissioner of the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT).
 
Tisch previously served as Deputy Commissioner of Information Technology for the NYPD.

As DoITT Commissioner, Tisch will lead all aspects of the city’s delivery of IT services that touch every aspect of city life, from public safety to human services. She will also undertake a modernization of the city’s technology infrastructure.

“Jessica’s knowledge of technology and her drive to get things done are unmatched,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio. “She helped modernize the finest police force in the nation, outfitting our officers with body-worn cameras and equipping them with smartphones to better connect to New Yorkers. I’m thrilled to welcome her to her new role as Commissioner of DoITT, where she will continue to use technology to make New York City government work better on behalf of all New Yorkers. I also want to thank Eusebio for his hard work as Interim Commissioner and am grateful he will remain in this Administration as Chief Information Officer at the Department of Finance.”

As Deputy Commissioner of Information Technology at the NYPD, Tisch led the effort to use technology to transform the NYPD’s fundamental business processes, including how officers are dispatched and respond to 911 calls for service, take crime reports, investigate, and search for wanted or missing persons. She managed the development and implementation of the flagship Domain Awareness System, which is at the heart of the NYPD’s crime fighting and counterterrorism operations. Under her leadership, the NYPD equipped every officer with a smartphone that not only gives them access to real-time information in the field, but also improves their accessibility to the public. This effort is fundamental to the Neighborhood Policing program.

In addition to driving the wholesale replacement of the NYPD’s technology infrastructure, Tisch oversaw the agency’s efforts to open a new 911 Call Center in the Bronx. She was also responsible for a pioneering interagency effort with the MTA to make NYPD’s radios work in the subways. Tisch also drove a number of efforts to improve the transparency of the NYPD, including equipping patrol officers with body-worn cameras and making crime statistics, Vision Zero statistics and collision reports available to the public online.

Tisch joined the NYPD in 2008, first as Director of Planning and Policy in the Counterterrorism Bureau and then as Counsel to the Police Commissioner. Tisch graduated Harvard College in 2003 and Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School in 2008.
