Quach was tapped to lead the department in April 2023, after serving as the CIO for San Francisco’s Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing for four and a half years.“After 32 years of public service, I will be retiring from state service,"
the former CIO wrote in a LinkedIn post. "When I joined the state of California straight out of college, I never imagined I would one day have the opportunity to serve as a chief information officer across multiple departments, including a period of service with the city and county of San Francisco.”
Prior to his time there, he served as the IT director for the city and county’s Assessor-Recorder, as the chief information technology officer for the California Public Utilities Commission, and as an enterprise architect for the state’s Department of Industrial Relations.
“As I conclude this chapter, I do so with sincere gratitude for the trust, support and partnership I have experienced throughout my career,” Quach wrote. “I will always value the relationships and memories built with the teams I have had the honor to lead and serve alongside. While the work was often complex and demanding, it was also consistently purposeful and rewarding.”
Quach holds a Master of Business Administration in business administration and management and a Bachelor of Science in accounting and business management, both from San Francisco State University.
His position is currently being advertised. More information about that role is available here.
