“Andrew brings deep technical knowledge and hands-on experience that perfectly aligns with this position,” Rubin says. “His expertise in AI and data innovation will help drive forward our university’s strategic goals in enterprise data management, enhancing both academic programs and operational capabilities.”
In his new role, Joncas will lead the strategic direction and operational execution of the University’s enterprise data and AI initiatives, including data access, governance, reporting and analysis.
“I’m thrilled to step into this new role and explore how we can harness the power of university data and artificial intelligence,” Joncas says. “Together, we have a unique opportunity to drive innovation and create transformative solutions for the entire University community.”
ITS will begin the search for Joncas’s successor as assistant vice president for infrastructure this month. In the interim, the ITS Infrastructure and Networking teams will report to Eric Sedore, associate vice president for information technology and chief technology officer.
