What Is the Goal of the Integration?
The transition moves the specialized team, led by Julianne LeFevre, from the Office of the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force, or SAF/AA, to the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Space Acquisition and Integration, or SAF/CN. The integration is intended to strengthen defense business systems, accelerate innovation and support the department’s evolving technology infrastructure needs while advancing initiatives aimed at streamlining operations and enhancing data accessibility for mission-critical activities.
How Does the Integration Support Broader DAF CIO Modernization Efforts?
The move aligns with broader DAF CIO efforts to strengthen enterprise IT governance, cybersecurity and digital modernization initiatives across the Air Force and Space Force. In March 2025, the DAF CIO office, then headed by two-time Wash100 Award winner Venice Goodwine, worked with the Headquarters Cyberspace Capabilities Center to enhance oversight of IT investment priorities and enterprise governance processes.
The integration also follows recent leadership and cybersecurity modernization efforts within the DAF CIO office. Earlier this year, Col. Becky Beers was named acting chief information security officer to supporting initiatives focused on network resilience, zero trust and enterprise cybersecurity modernization.
