DLT Solutions has tapped David Rubal as its first chief technologist for data and analytics. In the role, he will oversee DLT’s data analytics, data science, big data and business intelligence portfolio. Rubal brings more than 35 years of IT and data science experience to the role, which was created to support emerging public sector data analytics needs.
“DLT is committed to meeting the needs of our public sector customers,” DLT President and CEO Alan Marc Smith said. “With a shortage of data scientists and a wealth of information, organizations need technologies that allow them to better leverage data to cut costs, improve efficiencies or even save lives. That’s why we created this role and selected David to lead the data and analytics practice for DLT’s customers.”
“DLT is a leader in connecting software innovators with the public sector, helping organizations realize the potential of their data,” Rubal sad. “New technologies that leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning can organize and interpret data to achieve organizational missions from identifying health trends to revealing patterns that can better predict natural disasters. In my new role, I see great opportunity to expand these possibilities, acting as a partner and adviser to the public sector.”
Prior to joining DLT, Rubal served in senior leadership roles at Oracle, Blue Coat Systems, Tableau Software, EMC and Cisco, among others. He is the principal co-author of the 2009 White House Office of Management and Budget report, “Planning Guide/Roadmap Toward IPv6 Adoption within the U.S. Government” and serves as the data analytics industry advisory board member at the George Mason University Volgenau School of Engineering.
