Bob Leek discusses how the 11th largest US county is embracing AI, digital services and partnerships to transform government service delivery
A
s local governments nationwide struggle with outdated systems and rising resident expectations, Clark County, Nevada is overhauling its approach to public services through technology.
The challenges are substantial: siloed departments, legacy infrastructure, multilingual constituencies and the mounting pressure to deliver high-quality digital experiences with government-level budgets and security requirements.
Home to 2.3 million residents across 8,000 square miles – equivalent in size to the State of New Jersey – this jurisdiction encompasses the Las Vegas metropolitan area and represents the majority of Nevada’ s population. With 42 million tourists visiting annually, the county’ s technology infrastructure must serve both permanent residents and a continuous influx of visitors.
Bob Leek, Chief Information Officer at Clark County, brings experience from his previous role as CIO for Multnomah County in Oregon and technology leadership positions at Kaiser Permanente. Today, he manages a team of over 200 staff organised across four divisions: infrastructure, security, applications and digital services.
