The FCC\u2019s robust agenda requires a diligent information technology team led by someone with knowledge of all aspects of today\u2019s technology landscape, but also an eye to the future needs of this industry and the Commission as a whole,\u201d FCC Managing Director Dan Daly said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Khan most recently served as chief digital officer at the Food and Drug Administration, where he led digital transformation initiatives, overseeing a $200 million budget and a workforce of more than 400 technology staff across multiple divisions. He holds a master\u2019s degree in information systems from The George Washington University.<\/p>\n<p>He previously held senior IT roles at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the U.S. Army and the departments of Transportation and Justice, where he managed global IT operations and led efforts including cloud migration, application development and data center operations.<\/p>\n<p>The FCC\u2019s CIO sits under the Office of the Managing Director and oversees IT systems that support the agency\u2019s workforce and external stakeholders, including broadband providers, public safety entities, broadcasters and spectrum auction participants.<\/p>\n<p>Before Khan, Allen Hill served in the position, having joined the FCC in 2022.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nextgov.com\/people\/2026\/03\/fcc-taps-farhan-khan-cio\/412490\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FCC taps Farhan Khan as CIO https:\/\/www.nextgov.com\/people\/2026\/03\/fcc-taps-farhan-khan-cio\/412490\/ Publish Date: 2026-03-30 14:45:00 Source Domain: www.nextgov.com The&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":230956,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.nextgov.com\/media\/img\/cd\/2026\/03\/30\/GettyImages_2262378642\/open-graph.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[24],"class_list":["post-230955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230955"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230955"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":230957,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230955\/revisions\/230957"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
