After a national search, the Georgia Institute of Technology has selected Daren Hubbard as its new chief information officer and vice president for Information Technology. Hubbard joins Georgia Tech from Wayne State University, where he serves as chief information officer and associate vice president for Computing and Information Technology.

Hubbard will start his new role on September 8 and will report directly to the executive vice president for Administration and Finance.

Greetings Georgia Tech Community,

It is hard to believe I have already completed my first month at Georgia Tech. I am excited to take the reins as your new vice president of Information Technology and chief information officer (CIO) and I am grateful for the Institute’s warm welcome and confidence in me. I have always admired Georgia Tech and its efforts to tackle the many challenges we face globally through advanced technology. I am extremely fortunate to now be a part of a talented team of individuals who contribute to that mission.

Greetings Everyone.

If you are anything like me, you take a few moments every December to reflect on the year that has just passed and assess whether it’s been a good one or not. The past year has been unlike any year we have seen before, and while extremely challenging, I am grateful for the great things we have accomplished in 2020.
