Welcome Doug Carlson!

It is wonderful to have the opportunity to announce the addition of Douglas S. Carlson to NYU and the ITS Leadership Team as our new Director of Network Services! Among a large and strong pool of candidates, Doug stood out with the broadest range of directly applicable accomplishments in an environment as complex as ours. He has been actively involved in statewide and national bodies associated with networking in higher education. He's a veteran at the kinds of organization and service transformations we're undertaking in ITS. We're so glad he chose to join us!

Doug comes to NYU from Cornell University, where he has held technology leadership roles for nearly a decade. For the past three years, Doug has been the Associate Director for Systems and Engineering in Cornell Information Technologies (CIT). In this role, he directed the design, deployment and ongoing support of the University's data and voice networks, as well as its physical communications infrastructure, in-building and underground. Earlier, Doug headed Systems and Operations at the Cornell Theory Center, leading the staff in all aspects of the design, installation and and support of Cornell's NSF-funded supercomputing center. Doug also has substantial experience in technology services leadership and management in industry.

Doug's office is in Warren Weaver Hall (251 Mercer St.), room 323. His phone number is 998-3445, and his e-mail address is doug.carlson@nyu.edu.
