Askins, who has spent the bulk of his career in the private sector, fills a gap created by the resignation last month of Yessica Jones, who stepped down as CTO after five years with the state government. In a press release, Hutchinson pointed to Askins’ industry experience in choosing him to take over the state’s IT management.
