Defense Department Chief Information Officer Teri Takai will leave the department at the end of the week, a DOD spokesman confirmed Monday. Takai took the job in 2010 and is widely seen as a key government official as carriers promote greater sharing of federal spectrum in some bands and clearing others to be sold at auction. No successor was named, the spokesman said. Takai also is on the FirstNet board. She’s formerly CIO of the states of California and Michigan.
