David Loewi
As Chief Information Officer of the Colorado Department of Revenue, Mr. Loewi oversaw the Colorado Integrated Tax
Architecture (CITA.) The $50 million CITA project replaced an array of systems on multiple platforms with a single,
taxpayer-centric product in a current, integrated, environment. The project also updated antiquated infrastructure and
retrained dozens of IT employees. Loewi also oversaw IT operations of the Colorado Divisions of Motor Vehicles and
Enforcement and the Colorado Lottery, with hundreds of major systems and almost 200 locations. In the consolidation of
twenty IT organizations into Colorado's Office of Information Technology, he coordinated support for Revenue
applications sharing data for public safety, benefits eligibility, alimony and other court order enforcement, medical
marijuana licensing and more. Under him, Revenue systems earned praise from the IRS, Social Security Administration
and Colorado's Office of the State Auditor for improved security and process improvements.
Before state government, Mr. Loewi held IT positions in education. As CIO at the University of Minnesota-Morris he
guided consolidation efforts, eliminating unique software and established standards for other software such as
PeopleSoft, Oracle Tools and PointSec, among many others. Partnering with the U. of Minnesota system, he eliminated
redundant vendors and moved most Morris servers to Minneapolis through aggressive virtualization. Selected
open-source applications resulted in further savings and improved security. At schools and universities in Oregon and
Missouri, Mr. Loewi worked with leadership to define program goals, establish performance criteria, and integrate
systems with administrative, academic and library implications. He also began his long history of soliciting suggestions for
system improvements from non-technical, front-line staff, a habit of collaboration that informs all his management
thinking.
Mr. Loewi spent over six years with J.P. Morgan and Company in New York, Germany and California, mastering finances
and budgeting, soliciting and consolidating business relationships in three languages and expanding customer service and
personnel management skills.
Mr. Loewi has 35 years of computing and managerial education, and experience applying the fruits of those labors. A
graduate of Harvard University, he also holds an M.S. in Computer Sciences from the University of Texas-Austin, where
he was an Microelectronics and Computer Development Fellow, 1985-87.
