Yannopoulos began his role as Immigration CIO in October after former DIAC CIO Tony Kwan retired.

He had served as Defence CTO since November 2008, managing a team of around 400 staff with an annual IT budget of $1.3 billion.

He oversaw projects including the $100 million upgrade of the department’s next-generation desktops, and its award-winning data centre migration project.

Major General Michael Milford, a member of the Chief Information Officer Group, had been serving as the interim CTO since last August.

Milford will return to running IT operations once a CTO has been appointed.

The new CTO will be tasked with overseeing the strategic guidance and technical direction for Defence’s IT environment, as well as its commercial arrangements.
