Brian Epley
Federal Leadership
After serving almost two years as principal deputy CIO for the Department of Energy, Brian Epley was tapped in June for the top IT job at the Department of Commerce, where he now oversees a roughly $2.9 billion IT budget. Epley was primed for the challenge after having helped guide the DOE’s strategy on cybersecurity, data usage, digitization and the protection and modernization of IT. Prior to his time at DOE, Epley spent six years at the Environmental Protection Agency following many years in private sector leadership positions.
