Raj Iyer, the Armyâs chief information officer, has won WashingtonExecâs 2022 Pinnacle Award for Cloud Government Executive of the Year. Shortly after, in a Jan. 4 LinkedIn post, Iyer announced heâd be stepping down from the position, noting, âmy job as the Armyâs first CIO is complete.â
âWith the completion of my contract with the Army, it is now time for me to return to industry where I can take on the next big challenge,â Iyer said in his post.
