Subject: Announcement - Gene Gamachi

Dear IT team members:I am pleased to announce the official appointment of Gene Gamachi as ITA’s Assistant General Manager of the Enterprise Systems and Security Services.

Gene was personally interviewed today by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa who gave his approval and complete support to Gene.

As you may know, Gene’s appointment has been a lengthy and arduous process. Throughout it all, Gene has maintained his professionalism and commitment. Gene's commitment to excellence, his work ethic, his ability communicate technical issues in non-technical ways and his leadership makes Gene the right person for this position. I have met very few infrastructure leaders in my career that have the right combination of these skills to be an effective leader, and Gene is one of them.

I look forward to continue to work with Gene as he spearheads many critical initiatives modernizing our data centers and network operations.

Please join me in congratulating Gene Gamachi and stop by to wish Gene well in his official appointment.

Randi Levin
General Manager and Chief Technology Officer

Gotta love Gene! I especially appreciate his 15 minute meetings, and how he cuts through all the BS, and says stuff like "OK, how much is all this crap gonna cost, man?". Meeting over.
