Winkler, who is currently a senior director at a Boise nonprofit called Healthwise, will appear before the Boise City Council on Sept. 14 for a confirmation hearing. If approved she’ll become the city\u2019s new CIO, heading an IT department with more than 70 employees and a $12 million budget.<\/p>\n

Winkler previously held officer roles within the U.S. Air Force and Air Force reserves, as well as managerial roles at Deloitte and Sabel Systems Technology Solutions, a Virginia consulting firm.<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s previous CIO, Erika Cobb \u2014 who was appointed by former Mayor Dave Bieter in 2019 \u2014 departed in June to lead digital commerce at a regional grocery store chain, according to LinkedIn, after a two-year stint.<\/p>\n

As CIO, Winkler would oversee digital applications, networking, websites and geographic information system development for more than 14 agencies, including the city\u2019s airport and zoo, according to a job posting.
