Bob Leek is CIO for local government Clark County , Nevada & his private sector background has given him a vision to transform the public services landscape
Clark County , Nevada , is principally known for the flashing lights and fast-living of the Las Vegas Strip , and simultaneously as the intended sports , entertainment , gaming and conference destination of the world .
The ‘ brand ’ of Clark County is chiefly carried by the Las Vegas Strip – “ but we are so much more than that ,” says Bob Leek , the county ’ s Chief Information Officer . “ My role encompasses responsibility for delivering all information technology services to the county , so that we can effectively deliver them to the public that falls under our jurisdiction .”
As a consequence of Information Technology , however , the traditional boundaries that delineate this jurisdiction are expanding .
Geographically , Clark County has 2.2 million residents and about 46 million people that visit the county every year . It is also home to the eighth busiest airport in the world , the state ' s largest public hospital – and is the 11th largest county in the United States in terms of population . Its peer counties are those with cities like Houston , Chicago , San Francisco and New York .
Clark County is unique in that it also provides services which normally fall under the remit of the city or municipality , with over a million people living in unincorporated Clark County .
