Bloomberg on December 30, 2009 and assumed the official position on January 19, 2010.[3][4][5] She is the first woman to have held this office at the City of New York.[6] She resigned from DoITT to take the position at New York Law School in April 2012.[7]

Background

Career

After graduating from the University of Florida, Post joined Plan Services, Inc. in Tampa, Florida—a division of Dun and Bradstreet. She rose to a national representative position and thereafter was appointed an executive director. Post remained at Plan Services, Inc. for five years.

Post left her corporate position to attend Seton Hall University Law School in Newark, New Jersey. Upon graduating, Post joined a private law firm in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. She worked in the municipal law department where she represented local municipal governments in Palm Beach County.

In 1999, one of her clients, the City of Palm Beach Gardens, hired her as Acting City Manager. It was in this position that Post first started to deal with matters involving information technology, particularly concerning the operational and technical issues related to the new millennium. She served in this capacity until mid-2000.

In late 2001, Post joined the City of New York, initially as an attorney in the Enforcement Division at the New York City Department of Buildings. She spanned a number of roles at the Buildings Department (see New York City Career) before assuming responsibilities in the Mayor's Office of Operations, and later being appointed Commissioner of the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunication.
