COLLEGE, Pa., July 17,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mission Critical Partners
(MCP) announced that Heather Pettit
has joined the firm as its vice president of court technologies
within the firm's Justice Management and Technology (JMT) services
practice.
We long have believed that the ecosystem
MCP serves consists of both the public safety and justice sectors.
We're confident that Heather's influence will accelerate our
efforts to improve the technologies used by court systems to
enhance justice outcomes.
Pettit brings nearly two decades of experience in advancing
court technologies. She most recently served as chief information
officer and director of information technology for the Judicial
Council of California (JCC), the
rule-making arm of the California
court system, where she led the effort to modernize the technology
programs, policies, and processes utilized by court systems
throughout the state. She also established and directed the
Judicial Branch Office of Information Security. Pettit received
Government Technology magazine's 2023 State of California Public
Sector CIO of the Year Award.
In her new role, Pettit will lead the firm's subject-matter
experts concerning the assessment, acquisition, design, and
implementation of a wide variety of court technology solutions. She
also will provide executive-level strategic consulting to court
systems, and will leverage her information-security expertise to
bolster MCP's efforts to protect court systems from
cyberattacks.
Since launching the JMT services team in 2021 after acquiring
MTG Management Consultants, MCP has supported high-profile projects
that are transforming court system operations in the United States. These include:
- Modernizing the city of New
Orleans' decades-old computer systems with advanced,
cloud-based technologies.
- Transitioning the paper-based operations of the Superior Court
of California – Marin County to digital-by-default court
services; the effort included automating case-processing workflows,
improving data capture and management, and streamlining document
production.
- Working with the Superior Court of California – Los
Angeles County to ensure that the goals and processes
identified for its data-governance program align with those of
other justice entities in the state, especially pertaining to data
integration.
"We long have believed that the ecosystem MCP serves consists of
both the public safety and justice sectors," said John Chiaramonte, president of the firm's
consulting division. "We're confident that Heather's influence will
accelerate our efforts to improve the technologies used by court
systems to enhance justice outcomes."
Darrin Reilly, MCP's president
and chief executive officer, added that Pettit is an ideal fit
culturally. "Heather embraces the firm's core values — persistence,
integrity, trust, accountability, and prudence — that guide
everything we do," Reilly said. "She's also an industry leader, and
MCP has taken great pride since it's inception 15 years ago in
being the place where industry leaders want to work — she'll fit
right in."
