A deputy within North Carolina Gov. Roy Coopers agency managing information technology for state government is now the departments acting secretary.

Cooper announced this week that Thomas Parrish IV will fill the Cabinet position vacated by Tracy Doaks, who was secretary for five months before taking another job at a nonprofit.

Parrish has most recently been serving as deputy chief information officer within the Department of Information Technology. Hes had 27 years of local and state government experience.

The acting secretary title means Parrish wont be subject for now to any confirmation vote by the state Senate.

Doaks predecessor, Eric Boyette, moved over to the Department of Transportation and was confirmed as DOT secretary by the Senate in June.
