The University of Colorado at Boulder announced today that Dennis Maloney, chief technology officer, will retire from his position effective Nov. 30.
CU-Boulder Provost Phil DiStefano said Maloney's work "focused on providing information technology services with a keen perspective of student and faculty needs," and that Maloney provided "a thorough understanding of the complex business operations of the campus."
"One of his strengths was leading an organization that developed and provided strategic information technologies during lean budget years," DiStefano said.
A CU-Boulder employee since 1979, Maloney was initially hired in the CU Finance Office to perform business analysis. This quickly led to his involvement in a comprehensive information system development project that shaped his career. After a short stint at University Information Services, he returned to the Boulder campus in leadership positions in Telecommunications and then Information Technology Services.
Maloney has been recognized for his dedicated service to the Boulder campus many times over the years, and has been honored nationally in many forums by information technology professionals in higher education.
"Having worked with Dennis extensively over the past several years, I will personally and professionally miss his presence on campus," said Senior Vice Chancellor Ric Porreca. "He has been an effective steward of university resources, transforming CU-Boulder's IT organization to best serve the needs of the campus."
Porreca said a national search for Maloney's replacement would begin during the fall semester. Maloney will be on vacation during the month of December and has agreed to temporarily fill the position until a replacement is hired.
