Jason Oxman Announces Retirement After Eight Years as ITI President and CEO
WASHINGTON – Jason Oxman today announced his decision to retire as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI), the global trade association of the technology industry, at the conclusion of his current contract in February 2027. Oxman will continue serving fully in his current role until his successor is selected and begins work, ensuring continuity and a seamless leadership transition.
“After eight extraordinary years, I have decided that the conclusion of my contract will be the right time for me to retire and for ITI to begin its next chapter,” said Oxman. “Leading ITI has truly been my dream job. I am deeply proud of what our team has accomplished—strengthening ITI’s global voice, broadening the value we provide for our members, and building an organization equipped to serve the technology industry. I am especially grateful to our talented senior leadership team and global staff, engaged member companies, and dedicated Board of Directors for their partnership and support.”
Oxman’s retirement will conclude a 30-year career working on technology policy in government and the private sector in Washington, DC. During his eight years leading ITI, the association:
- Doubled its annual revenue and staff while tripling its financial reserves;
- Expanded its membership to include the world’s largest and most innovative technology companies from across the technology ecosystem;
- Extended its global reach by opening offices in India and Singapore and expanding its presence in Europe, and launching a state legislative advocacy program; and
- Broadened its policy expertise and advocacy to encompass emerging and increasingly consequential issues, including AI, quantum, energy, 6G wireless, space policy, data centers, economic security, and digital tax and trade.
“Jason has led ITI with vision, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to its members,” said Michael Kennedy, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Intuit and Chair of the ITI Board of Directors. “ITI is stronger in every respect because of his leadership, and the Board is profoundly grateful for his eight years of exceptional service. We respect Jason’s decision and appreciate his commitment to supporting an orderly and successful transition.”
Founded in 1916, ITI is celebrating 110 years as the technology industry’s leading global advocate. The selection of Oxman’s successor will continue that legacy as the association prepares for its next era of growth, influence, and global engagement. ITI’s Board of Directors will form a search committee chaired by Jeff Campbell, Chief Government Strategy Officer at Cisco and incoming Chair of the ITI Board. The committee will retain a professional executive search firm and will announce the commencement of the search in the coming weeks.
“For 110 years, ITI has brought together technology leaders to address the defining policy challenges of their time,” said Campbell. “The Board will conduct a thoughtful and comprehensive search for an exceptional leader who can build upon the strong foundation Jason and his predecessors have established and guide ITI into its next chapter. We are grateful for his commitment to continuing to lead the association until his successor begins.”
Oxman emphasized that the vital work of ITI and its senior leadership team will advance throughout the transition. “This is a consequential time for the technology industry and there is important work ahead, and I look forward to continuing to lead ITI and serve our members until the next President and CEO takes office,” he said. “When that time comes, I will leave with tremendous confidence in ITI’s people, its mission, and its future.”
“After 30 rewarding years working on technology policy in Washington—and eight wonderful years in my dream job at ITI—I am ready for the next phase of life,” Oxman added. “My wife, Annemarie, retired last year, and we look forward to enjoying that next phase together through joint pursuits and new experiences.”
