CTG is pleased to announce that Dr. Mila Gascó of Spain has moved to Albany to serve as Associate Research Director at the Center for Technology in Government and Associate Research Professor at Rockefeller College of Public Affairs & Policy.

Mila comes to the United States and CTG from the Center for Public Governance at ESADE Business & Law School in Barcelona, where she was a senior researcher leading the center’s research on e-governance, open government, and smart cities. She has an extensive consulting and teaching background, having worked for a wide variety of organizations including the United Nations’ Development Program, the Office of the Mayor of Valencia, Valenzuela, the Spanish Agency for International Development, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, and many others.

Mila will split her time between guiding CTG’s research initiatives, and teaching in the Government Information Strategy Management program at Rockefeller College.

“For more than 20 years, CTG has been a leader to follow in the government information and technology field. The combination of academics and practice has inspired my own work for many years, and I am so excited to now be a part of this fabulous center,” says Mila.

Mila holds a Ph.D. in Public Policy Evaluation from Rovira & Virgili University in Tarragona, Spain and a Masters in Business Administration from the ESADE Business & Law School and Polytechnical University of Catalonia in Barcelona.
