Summer Xiao

Deputy Chief Information Officer, City of Houston

As an accomplished Information Technology Executive with more than 15 years of success, I’ve been dedicated to driving transformation and innovation across the enterprise. My approach involves championing and vetting ideas, leading negotiations, and ensuring efficient execution, collaborating seamlessly with diverse leaders on key projects. I embody a hands-on, adaptable, and people-first leadership style, empowering teams and enhancing individual capabilities. My achievements include leading an award-winning team for high-impact technology initiatives, such as the Open Finance Project, winner of the Smart 50 Award; and the Emergency Telehealth & Transport Project (ETHAN), winner of an IDC Smart Cities Award. I’ve successfully negotiated sizable discounts with vendors, ranging from $100K to $2M+, by cultivating strategic partnerships and leveraging non-financial incentives. Currently, as the Deputy Chief Information Officer at the City of Houston, I oversee Enterprise Application Services (EAS) and the Project Management Office (PMO), managing 90 FTEs with an operational budget of $25M. I’ve restructured and consolidated IT teams for heightened efficiency, defined strategic platforms, and established strong project governance structures. In a previous role at Rand Group, I led the Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales consulting services team, contributing to enhanced client engagement and revenue generation. Further, at IndoorMedia Marketing, I stabilized and steered the IT department, resulting in a 50% decrease in IT costs ($1M savings) and significant improvements in infrastructure and security protocols. My journey includes successful roles at SNC-Lavalin Group and other accomplished organizations, earning promotions and accolades for my contributions. My education includes a Bachelor's Degree in Management Information Systems from the University of Houston, complemented by Project Management Professional (PMP) certification and training in the Program for Excellence in Selling.
