Darnita Trower, former Deputy CIO for Operations, IRS
Darnita Trower, former deputy CIO for Operations at the Internal Revenue Service, discusses her tenure at the agency and the resilience the workforce has shown through budget cuts, administration changes and difficult tax seasons. She said the agency is built to weather storms and is on a continuing modernization path.
Trower is an accomplished executive and digital transformation leader with over 20 years of public and private sector experience. During her tenure at the IRS, she managed a $290 million Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) digitalization portfolio, the launch of Secure Access Digital Identity (SADI) and drove legacy modernization.
