DISA’s military cloud supremo to leave

The man in charge of building out the Pentagon’s massive cloud infrastructure is leaving his job this week.

David Stickley — the director of the implementation office for the Joint Information Environment, as the military calls its huge cloud network — will leave his job at the Defense Information Systems Agency in Fort Mead, Md., Oct. 2, according to a DISA official.

Alana Johnson, a civilian spokeswoman for DISA, said Stickley, a retired U.S. Air Force colonel, was leaving for “personal reasons” and Oct. 2 would be his last day

According to a biography posted by AFCEA, Stickley was at one point the chief information officer for the Air National Guard at Joint Base Andrews.

There were no further details available.
