Suzette Kent will advance a leading tech talent developer approach to upskilling in partnership with government agencies, Fortune 500 companies
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., August 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — SkillStorm, which works with employers and government agencies to train and deploy teams of highly specialized technology talent, today announced the appointment of former Federal Chief Information Officer for the United States Suzette Kent on its Advisory Board. An expert at the intersection of technological innovation and the unique needs of the federal labor force, Kent will support SkillStorm’s ongoing efforts to build stronger tech talent pipelines in support of the US government’s workforce development strategy.
“Government and private sector entities face an urgent need to modernize technology capabilities – but that cannot happen if we continue to face talent gaps in areas such as cybersecurity and data analytics,” said by Kent. “SkillStorm’s unique approach is designed to expand access to training for the most in-demand technology skills, helping businesses and the public sector address their immediate challenges, but also future proving their workforce to compete in an increasingly tech-driven economy.”
Kent brings more than 25 years of experience developing and implementing strategies for organizational learning, diversity and inclusion, and career development, with a strong focus on technology modernization, cybersecurity, digital enablement, and workforce innovation. Prior to his appointment as Federal Chief Information Officer, he served as principal at Ernst & Young, Managing Director at JPMorgan, and partner at Accenture. He is currently a strategic advisor to several organizations, on the board of Directors of Hancock Whitney Bank, and a National Board member of the LSU Foundation.
“Suzette’s unique track record as a technology and workforce leader will bring invaluable insight to our work with both government organizations and employers,” said SkillStorm CEO Justin Vianello. “In an era of accelerating technological change at all levels of the enterprise, his experience will inform our efforts to both close critical skills gaps and create new pathways to economic opportunity in the tech workforce. “
