Chief Data Officer, NC Department of Health and Human Services
After 6 years in industry before pursuing an informatics PhD, then 12 years in academia after graduation, I was not looking for any new job in 2019, let alone a job in state government. And then fate and serendipity (and networking) stepped in, and then COVID hit, and the result has been a wild, fulfilling, frustrating, eye opening ride, way outside of the ivory tower.
