The Justice Department has named Eric Olson its acting chief information officer, following the departure of former CIO Vance Hitch last month.
Olson, who served as the department’s deputy CIO, assumed his new role on Aug. 1. He inherits a $2.1 billion information technology budget, oversight of IT management and acquisition and integration of information resources.
Hitch left his CIO post on July 31 after serving for more than nine years.
