Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte’s office announced Wednesday the appointment of Kevin Gilbertson, an executive with a regional cloud computing provider, as the state’s new chief information officer.
Gilbertson, previously a vice president at Helix Business Solutions, began work with the state government the same day as his appointment, state officials said, and will also serve as a member of Gianforte’s Cabinet. The appointment fills a vacancy left by the retirement last December of Montana CIO Tim Bottenfield shortly before Gianforte, a Republican former member of Congress, succeeded outgoing Democratic Gov. Steve Bullock.
