Season 5: Episode 10: Looking Back to Moving Forward – A Vision for Future Public Sector Tech Leadership

A conversation with Darry Polk, Director of Education, Public Technology Institute

 

After 36 years of public service, Darryl has assumed a new and highly influential role as Director of Education for the Public Technology Institute. Darryl began his career as a 911 police dispatcher. Having worked for the police department for some 20 years, he saw an opening for the CIO position. He thought he’d never get the position – and has never looked back. Most recently, he was the CTO for Riverside County.
