Department of Housing and Urban Development Chief Information Officer and Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer Eric Sidle is expected to soon take up the Department of Interior\u2019s top tech post\u00a0after the latter agency\u2019s CIO departed, according to two people familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n

He is finalizing the paperwork process and could be onboarded in the next one to two weeks, said both people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the selection has not been made public.<\/p>\n

Sidle joined HUD in May 2025 after serving in the private sector for a number of years in a variety of tech-specific roles. He previously worked for two years at tech consulting firm Fabrum Advisors as a technology advisor, operating partner and coach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prior to that position, Sidle oversaw autonomous driving hardware at NIO, served as chief technology officer at ChargePoint and worked as an engineering manager for special projects at Apple.<\/p>\n

Interior\u2019s prior CIO Paul \u201cMacca\u201d McInerny \u2014 a former SpaceX engineer that aligned himself with the Department of Government Efficiency\u2019s mission \u2014 left the department last week after just over a year in the role, with a top strategy official at the agency, Matt Luby, tapped as interim CIO, Nextgov\/FCW<\/em> reported Monday.<\/p>\n

One suspected source of frustration under McInerny involved the department\u2019s effort to consolidate and speed up permitting systems \u2014 including systems tied to Bureau of Land Management leasing and energy development \u2014 that would likely demand significant overhauls to the agency\u2019s IT stack.<\/p>\n

HUD and Interior spokespeople did not return multiple requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Sidle has publicly discussed his push to bolster anti-fraud initiatives while at HUD, an effort that aligns with the Trump administration\u2019s broader \u201cwar on fraud.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Government Service Delivery conference in Washington, D.C., last month, Sidle said HUD\u2019s outdated technologies and disparate databases made it difficult to identify companies gaming the agency\u2019s programs, noting that the median age of its systems was 20 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cAcross different agencies, we\u2019re now talking about how we\u2019re going to be dealing with data sharing, Delta Sharing and all this other stuff,\u201d he said, adding that \u201ceven before AI, just the basics of data analytics wasn\u2019t being done \u2014 let alone now you have AI, which is going to take off and be able to protect this.\u201d<\/p>\n
