Doing the Innovation Thing at ASD/NII

Here in Whatsland we try to keep track of all the personnel changes at the office of the assistant secretary of Defense for networks and information integration (a.k.a. the chief information officer shop). I note that yesterday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates appointed Prabha Kumar, as the chief innovation and technology officer for ASD/NII.

Kumar, who gets Senior Executive Service stripes with the new job, previously served as chief of integration engineering for the Defense Information Systems Agency.

Gates also appointed David DeVries principal director to the deputy of ASD/NII, Dave Wennergren. DeVries, who also gained an SES rank, previously served as an active duty Army colonel with that service's Network Enterprise and Technology Command.

But when oh when will a new ASD/NII and CIO be named to replace John Grimes -- and who will it be?
