The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is seeking a new deputy CIO ‘Transformation’ after former CIO, Carsten Larsen, moved into a general management role with the communications regulator. Larsen is currently ACMA’s general manager of corporate services and coordination, after being appointed CIO in June 2009, and has previously held general management and CIO roles with TransACT, and NSW State Rail. A spokesperson for the ACMA confirmed that its deputy CIO (of which there are three) of ‘Business as Usual’, Karl Maftoum, had been acting in the CIO role in the interim but could not confirm whether he would officially be appointed to the role following Larsen. Maftoum has been in the deputy role since April 2010. SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER From our editors straight to your inbox Get started by entering your email address below.
