Dear Industry Colleagues

I am pleased to announce that I have accepted a four year executive leadership appointment with the Department of Treasury, Internal Revenue Service (IRS). As the Director for Enterprise Architecture, I will be responsible for directing programs that enable the IRS to transition to a new integrated environment, including enterprise architecture, data management, systems integration and related acquisition activities.

I want to thank all my clients. It was great serving you and I now look forward to supporting our Federal Government on this high priority national program for modernization of the IRS.

Best wishes,


Avi Bender
