Congratulations to Robert McGough, Chief Data Officer for the State of Arkansas, on his election to the Velocity Network Foundation Board of Directors.
Robert brings to the Board over 23 years of experience in public sector data management and analytics, including 18 years of experience with the application of evolving AI technologies for public sector use cases. In addition to Robert’s role as CDO, he serves as the chair of the Arkansas AI & Analytics Center of Excellence, and the chair of the Arkansas Data and Transparency Panel.
Speaking of his election as a Velocity Network Foundation Board member, Robert said:
I am honored to join the Velocity Network Foundation Board of Directors to bring a public sector perspective to advancing Learning and Employment Records (LERs) and digital credentials. Enabling interoperable and self-sovereign digital credentials at scale will empower individuals, streamline systems, and drive a digitally connected talent ecosystem for the benefit of all.
We look forward to working with Robert to empower Arkansans to take greater control of their careers and to expand the public sector ecosystem more broadly across the United States.
