ASU recently added a new chief information officer. His name is Lev Gonick, and he has come to the Valley from Cleveland.

There, he was CEO of the civic-tech organization DigitalC, a nonprofit with the goal of helping Cleveland accelerate the use of technology to have the greatest impact on the community.

Gonick is also credited with helping to create a broadband network that has had a positive impact on that region’s tech sector.

Gonick is with me to talk about what he’s looking to do at ASU and in the Valley.
