Leek has over 30 years of work history in information technology, with stints at Multnomah County, Oregon, Kaiser Permanente and Egghead.com. He had already been serving as the collaborative CIO since early last year.

“I am excited to join Clark County in leading our efforts to bring people, process and technology together to improve outcomes in the communities we serve,” Leek said, according to the Clark County website. “We live in an unprecedented time with our phones and devices serving as our connection to work and each other, and the County is focused on responding to this new demand to more fully engage those we serve as they seek our assistance or conduct business with us. In doing so, we can address the digital equity gap that so many experience daily and bring services to those who need it most through affordable, high-speed internet connectivity and solutions to help ensure that all our residents can participate in the growing digital economy.”
