The SEC has promoted Pamela C. Dyson from Acting Chief Information Office (CIO) to CIO in charge of overseeing all of the regulator’s IT technology functions
“Pam has been instrumental in our ongoing efforts to enhance the commission’s information technology capabilities,” says SEC Chair Mary Jo White in a statement.
Dyson has held key positions in the Office of Information Technology (OIT) since she came to the SEC in 2010, including the post of deputy CIO, officials say.

“Pam is a strong and effective leader who will continue to provide a strategic vision on all major SEC information technology initiatives,” says Jeff Heslop, chief operating officer (COO) for the SEC.
As Deputy CIO, Dyson oversaw the SEC’s information technology program and played a leading role in enhancing the SEC’s technological capabilities and the modernization of key service delivery platforms and business applications, officials say.
Dyson supervised the agency’s big data and data management initiatives to make it easier for users to quickly search and access critical data from a centralized source, implemented strategies to advance information security, and enhanced critical infrastructure operations in support of the SEC’s mission, officials say.
The Office of Information Technology (OIT) works with the chair, commissioners, and the agency’s divisions and offices to incorporate technology into SEC programs to serve investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and promote capital formation, officials say. Dyson began her SEC career as assistant director for enterprise operations to manage day-to-day operations such as IT infrastructure and enterprise operations for the SEC’s headquarters and its 11 regional offices.
Prior to joining the SEC, Dyson was the deputy CIO for the U.S. International Trade Commission, where she held several positions of increasing responsibility for its IT program, officials say.
