Gaetano Mazzuca wants to live in a world where the government integrates into a larger political and digital fabric of the area it serves, providing an enmeshed understanding and toolset for its citizens. One that sees smaller communities flourish in terms of resiliency and self-empowerment.
As a senior IT leader with more than 20 years of experience in public sector – academia, provincial and municipal government, Gaetano has worked to support the smaller players: the value of the small business, the small town, the college – and has successfully built shared services, collaborative open data systems, and resilient digital engagement that speak to the people that live, work and play locally. A passionate advocate for the small/medium sized organization: towns, rural communities, colleges, smaller business and institutions, he has built up regional networks and shared relationships in support of empowering outlier common-wealths.
Gaetano was recently appointed as the new Chief Information Officer for the City of Red Deer, Alberta.
