Biography

[edit]

Over the course of his career, Iyer has supported a range of defense and commercial clients on a number of complex enterprise transformation challenges including IT strategy, IT innovation and IT modernization.[5]

He has established new organizations, including the first office of the chief technology officer in the Army Materiel Command, cofounded a successful technology startup, and led recovery programs such as Healthcare.gov. He also holds a patent and has published dozens of peer reviewed papers.[5]

Private Sector Career

[edit]

Iyer spent over 15 years in the private sector prior to his appointment as the Army CIO. This included co-founding a software startup company in Dallas, Texas during his time in graduate school, as well as a management consultant for Deloitte Consulting LLP[5].

Public Sector Career

Iyer also spent over 12 years in public service prior to his appointment as the CIO. This included a stint of over 9 years at the US Army Materiel Command at both Warren, Michigan and Huntsville, Alabama, and several leadership positions at the US Department of Health and Human Services leading the implementation of Healthcare.gov under the Affordable Care Act.

Raj Iyer with Secretary Wormuth

Iyer was selected as the Chief Information Officer and appointed as a member of the Senior Executive Service by Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy after the former Army CIO/G-6 organization was separated into two new organizations - the Deputy Chief of Staff G-6 and the Office of the Chief Information Officer.

Iyer departed as the Army CIO in February 2023 after the completion of his term in office. His farewell ceremony at the Pentagon was officiated by Undersecretary of the Army Gabe Camarillo. “The Army is very lucky to have had Raj in this role as our first CIO,” said Camarillo. Camarillo commented on understanding the “degree of difficulty” Iyer faced in standing up a new office, creating a new position from scratch and figuring out what works and what doesn’t. “We will miss Raj and all of his energy. We are very appreciative of everything he has done,” Camarillo said.[6]

Accomplishments as Army CIO

[edit]

Iyer led more than 15,000 IT professionals and more than 10,000 service members, providing oversight and support to the Army’s $18 billion spend on IT and cyber.[6]

Iyer led IT reform and digital transformation of the Army in an unprecedented way. He spearheaded adoption of cloud, cutting-edge information technologies, and data analytics, all of which were designed to help the Army gain digital overmatch over our adversaries. Additionally, these initiatives are changing the workforce and the workplace, making it easier to access critical information at time of need from home through a bring-your-own device or from a mobile command post in theater.[6]

Army Digital Transformation Strategy

Iyer established the Army's Digital Transformation Strategy (ADTS)[7] to drive Army-wide transformation to achieve a data-centric Army. Signed by the Secretary of the Army, Christine Wormuth, the strategy directed all Army Commands and units to work with the Office of the CIO to implement the strategy to achieve the Army of 2030[8][9][10].

The Army under the CIO leadership led multiple initiatives under the ADTS in each of the Lines of Effort - Readiness and Modernization, Reform, and People and Partnerships. Iyer was a proponent for organization change and advocated that digital transformation required culture change, fundamentally changing how the Army operates through transformative digital technologies, empowering the workforce, and re-engineering Army institutional processes to be more agile.[11][12][13]

Unified Network Modernization

Iyer led the strategy for the Army's unified network in partnership with the DCS G-6[14][15] LTG John Morrison to integrated the Army's tactical, enterprise and mission partner networks. He was a proponent for the adoption of commercial technologies such as cloud computing to enable the Army to share large volumes of data seamlessly and securely from the tactical edge to the enterprise. Under his leadership, the DCS G-6 established the Army Unified Network Plan to implement the strategy. Iyer provided policy support for the Army's adoption of commercial Low Earth Orbit satellite communication to deployed forces[16] and a transformation of the Army's garrison networks to WiFi and private 5G[17][18].

User Experience Modernization

Under the ADTS, the Army CIO established multiple initiatives to enhance the user experience of Soldiers and Civilians worldwide[19]. These included

  • Army 365 - the world's largest cloud-based email and collaboration suite from Microsoft globally[20][21][22],
  • Google Workspace for 250,000 junior enlisted Soldiers[23][24][25]
  • Army Virtual Desktop[26] in the cArmy cloud
  • Bring Your Own Device solution in the cloud to enable Army users to access data from any device from any location the world seamlessly[27][28][29][30][31][32].
  • Enterprise service management system to help consolidate all of the help desks in the Army into a single system[33].

Army Cloud Modernization

Iyer established a new organization in the Office of the CIO dedicated to the cloud mission called the Enterprise Cloud Management Agency.[34] This field operating agency enabled the OCIO to implement and support a number of Army-wide cloud initiatives under the cARMY program[35] under the new Army Cloud Plan[36]. His team led the development of the Army’s first multi-cloud strategy, enabling agile, secure, and scalable IT solutions to significantly improve operational readiness[37]. They established partnerships with Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure to implement a secure classified and unclassified cloud for the Army. His team supported the transition of over 200 mission critical applications to the cloud including the Army's most complex Enterprise Resource Planning systems[38][33][39]. His team also supported a number of Army units globally in field exercises and experiments in the Indo Pacific and European theater led by 82d Airborne Division, XVIII Airborne Corps, I Corps, Multi Domain Task Force, and others.[40][41][42] [36] He led the strategy to half the number of data centers in the Army more aggressively by prioritizing budget for cloud migration[43][44][14]. The CIO allocated over $290M of the total IT budget of over $16.6 Billion in FY23 to the cloud program.[45] The Army cloud was first operationalized in support of operations supporting Ukraine[46].

Army Data Plan

The CIO also established a new Army Data Plan[47] in partnership with the Army Chief Data Officer Dr. David Markowitz, who also served as his Deputy. Under the new plan, the Army refocused its efforts for data management on supporting war fighting units to achieve Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control (CJADC2)[48]. Under Iyer's leadership, the Army implemented the Vantage Army Data Platform in partnership with Palantir[49]. The system saw Army-wide adoption with over 35,000 users globally using its self-service capabilities for analytics and dashboards[50].

Army Digital Resource Management Reform

One of Iyer's toughest challenges related to reforming the Army's institutional Planning Programming Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) process for IT. Prior to his arrival, the Army's $16 Billion IT budget was highly segregated and decentralized and there was no focal point for coordinating requirements across the Army, prioritizing requirements and validating Command inputs[51]. Iyer established a new Digital Requirements and Resourcing Construct that enabled the CIO to own the budgeting process for IT, and in partnership with DCS G-6 execute the Program Objective Memorandum (POM) process. The new process provides greater visibility into Army spend on IT, find opportunities for cost savings, and provide oversight over programs to ensure outcomes[52][53][54].

Army Cybersecurity Reform

Iyer led a complete overhaul of the Army's cybersecurity program through a new Army Cybersecurity Strategy[55] that required the Army to move to a zero trust architecture as mandated by the Department of Defense CIO. In partnership with the Army Principal Cyber Advisor, the Commanding General Army Cyber Command, DCS G-6 and DCS G-3/5/7 he led a number of reform efforts to re-focus cybersecurity from a compliance process to being outcomes based with increasing cyber threats from adversaries for both Information Technology and Operational Technology on critical infrastructure[56][57]. Iyer established the strategy, plan, programs and resources for the Army’s implementation of Zero Trust[58] for cybersecurity through technologies such as identity and access management, SD-WAN and Secure Access Service Edge. He prioritized over $2 Billion in funding for Zero Trust in the FY23 budget[59] and established a dedicated project office to coordinate Army-wide zero trust activities[60]. In addition, under his leadership the Army received $15 Million funding[61] from the White House Technology Modernization Fund[62][63] to establish a Security Operations Center for operational technology at the Army's organic industrial base[64]. The Army implemented the Cyber Excepted Service to recruit and retain a cyber workforce through new Congressional authority.[58][65]

Iyer was best known for the relationships he built internally within the DoD, with the Joint forces, and with allies and partners globally. He made frequent visits to the theater of operations to meet with both senior Commanders and junior enlisted Soldiers on the ground to solicit feedback for the digital transformation priorities. He was a close partner and trusted advisor to Army units such as the 82d Airborne Division, XVIII Airborne Corps, 101st Airborne Division, I Corps, Multi Domain Task Force, US Army Pacific[66][67], US Forces Korea, US Army Europe and Africa[68], and others. He was an active participant in Army exercises such as Forager 21 in Guam[69], Project Convergence, Defender Europe and others. He also built the foundation for greater collaboration and interoperability with allies in the British Army, Japan Ground Self Defense Forces, NATO, Romania, Italy[70], Poland, India and others.

Digital Human Capital Reform

As the executive sponsor for the Army's digital workforce, Iyer prioritized upskilling the Army civilian and military to become more digital and tech savvy[78][79]. His office established the first ever Digital Human Capital Strategy for the Army with a number of initiatives that included adoption of new talent models such as Cyber Excepted Service and new career paths in technical fields. The CIO was the sponsor and partner for the Army Software Factory under Army Futures Command that was established to train and develop cohorts of Soldier developers. He was a mentor for high school students through Black Engineer of the Year Award (BEYA).[80]

Business Systems Modernization

Iyer served as tri-chair of the Army Enterprise Business Systems - Convergence (EBS-C) Multi Functional Coordinating Team Executive Committee where he helped shape the technology and acquisition strategy for the Army's modernization of its Enterprise Resource Planning systems[81]. In this role, he championed for divestment of legacy business systems and adoption of a modern "clean core" ERP system. He worked with Army senior leaders to prioritize $1.4 Billion in funding for the program in 2022.[82]

CIO Governance

Iyer established several new CIO governance bodies to provide oversight over the Army's digital portfolio[83][84]. He chaired the Army Digital Oversight Council, the Army CIO Executive Board, Army Cyber Risk Council, and the Army Business Council. He also served on the White House Federal CIO Council.
