Our Leadership Team
Chief Information Officer (CIO)
Steen Hambric is responsible for leading the city’s Information Technology Services (ITS) department and federated IT management services over Sky Harbor International Airport, Water Services, Phoenix Police, and Phoenix Fire. Hambric has over 33 years of IT experience at the federal and local levels, with 17 of those years spent in executive leadership. As a Phoenix IT leader since 2017, he championed many citywide projects including a multi-year, citywide telephone and network project upgrade and implemented several initiatives with COVID-related federal dollars to bring free Internet connectivity to residents throughout Phoenix.
Hambric was appointed Chief Information Officer on September 14, 2021. He took on the role during a critical time in which numerous high visibility projects were underway, multiple enterprise-class applications were in various stages of replacement, and Phoenix was strengthening its cybersecurity. In direct response, Hambric spent the last few months drafting the city's first Strategic Technology Plan in over a decade. Once finalized, the City will have a strategic guidepost from which the city's business and technology leaders and their staff can rally behind and prioritize financial and personnel resources as well as key initiatives.
Before arriving in Phoenix, Hambric worked for the United States House of Representatives for 18 years in high-level information technology leadership positions where he developed and implemented IT strategic plans, led enterprise-class applications and web services, and oversaw the successful implementation of major technology projects. He also served for 11 years as a Combat Engineer Officer for the Army National Guard and earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, with an emphasis in Management Information Systems, from the University of Southern Mississippi.
