2016 Premier 100 Tech Leader: Ann Dunkin

As CIO of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Dunkin is a political appointee. With her term up in November, Dunkin says she has wholeheartedly adopted the Obama administration's recommendation to "sprint to the finish."
The project that Dunkin, 49, hopes will serve as her legacy is E-Enterprise for the Environment, an ambitious plan to transform the way the EPA interacts with states, tribes and regulated industries.
