MEMORANDUM FOR:` Chief, Information Management Group, DO
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Ken--
Edward J. Maloney
Director of Information Technology
Enclosed you will find the files of three candidates, any of which I
believe will do an outstanding job as Chief of the Field Systems Group. Each
of them, while having technical backgrounds with different emphases, has
strong technical management experience.
has been in our Operations area for virtually his entire
career. He understands the hardware and software configurations, the
management techniques to keep and maintain high availability and reliability
levels, and understands the mechanisms and management issues associated with
installing and maintaining systems.
has served in several staff type positions since returning
to the government four years ago. In his five years with industry, Dave was
very successful in technical management positions with ORACLE, Inc. He has
strong management experience and would be an asset to IMS as it looks to the
future.
is a relative newcomer to CIA, having joined us in June of
1986. In reviewing Jim's file, I direct you to his resume for an overview of
his experience. Please do not be misled by his PAR ratings for the one PAR in
his folder. We had him in the wrong position, one that was way too technical
for his background, and therefore he did not do well. Management is his
forte. His next PAR is in the making and I am told by his supervisor, Chief
of CSPO, that there will be significant improvement in the ratings of his
performance.
As I mentioned in our discussion, should you select an OITer, I am also
proposing to move five positions and people to IMS to support your work in
CRAFT. Additionally it would be my intention to move the GEORGE project as it
moves fully into the development cycle (probably sometime in the spring of
'88). In summary, you and I have had several discussions about my desire to
support the CRAFT program. I believe the nominees noted above are all strong
candidates, and my proposition to add positions to the Field Systems Group and
integrate GEORGE are consistent with that pledge of support. Thanks for the
opportunity to participate.
