Brook Colangelo is the Chief Information Officer (CIO) for the Office of Administration in the Executive Office of the President (EOP). Mr. Colangelo manages the unclassified enterprise technology that supports the EOP, including the White House and President of the United States.

Upon his appointment, he created a strategic plan to stabilize, mobilize and optimize the EOP’s IT infrastructure. He moved EOP employees off of desktop computers and onto secure mobile work stations. His foresight on this critical workforce need was put to the test when the Washington Metropolitan Area was immobilized for a week due to the 2010 blizzard. While the federal government was closed, the new mobile work stations and other tools allowed 60 percent of EOP employees to get online and complete mission critical functions, ensuring that White House operations continued.

Mr. Colangelo previously worked as the CIO of the Democratic National Convention Committee, where he successfully managed an interactive Convention and led a green technology initiative to reduce the Committee’s carbon footprint. He also served as the Information Technology Project Manager for the American Red Cross’ Hurricane Recovery Program (HRP), which was dedicated to helping rebuild lives from the devastation of Hurricanes Katrina, Wilma and Rita. Prior to that, Mr. Colangelo served as the Director of Technology for QRS Newmedia Inc, a dynamic communications and consulting firm in Washington, DC. Mr. Colangelo has experience in the IT management of a wide range of projects, including technology and telecommunication construction, application and web development, and renovation of technology infrastructure.

Mr. Colangelo earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the George Washington University and is a certified Project Management Institute (PMI) project manager. He is a recipient of Federal Computer Week’s The Federal 100 and InformationWeek's first-ever compilation of the top 50 CIOs in federal, state, and local government.
