Biography

Brian Arrowood was appointed by Governor Mitch Daniels as Indiana’s Chief Information Officer on June 7, 2010. Brian joined the Indiana Office of Technology in 2005 to help drive the consolidation of all infrastructure services across agencies, creating a single statewide service organization and saving the state $14 million annually. Mr. Arrowood consolidated six data centers into a single statewide entity, saving an additional $28 million since 2006. He also implemented energy efficient computer systems that have saved the state about $6 million in energy costs.

Following the technology infrastructure consolidation project, Arrowood assumed the leadership of the State’s technology infrastructure operations, for all executive branch agencies, including the state's 26,000 desktop computers and 2,800 servers. During severe flooding across Indiana in 2008, he led the state's deployment of computers to help provide emergency food stamp debit cards for disaster relief efforts.

Brian earned his undergraduate degree from Purdue University and has worked in the information technology industry for 18 years.
