Thomas Santucci

Director, Government-Wide Policy (DCOI and CloudSmart), General Services Administration

Thomas Santucci is the Director of the Data Center & Cloud Optimization Initiative PMO at the General Services Administration (GSA). In this role, Thomas oversees the PMO’s managing partner responsibilities for the Data Center Optimization Initiative (DCOI), helping to implement the federal Cloud Smart strategy. Thomas serves as Co-Chair of the Federal CIO Cloud & Infrastructure Community of Practice, which has over 1,600 members from across the federal IT workforce.

Prior to joining GSA in 2019, Thomas managed the Data Center Transformation Initiative (DCTI) for the Department of Justice (DOJ), creating the enterprise strategy for the Department to achieve its DCOI objectives and accomplish its cloud adoption goals, as well as providing the overall enterprise vision and policies for DOJ’s future computing environment. Using the methodologies developed and implemented to meet the intent of these programs, DCTI ultimately exceeded OMB targets established for the Department, which led to DOJ being recognized as employing best practices by GAO.
