Most recently, Rekhi was associate CIO at the Catholic University of America since 2021, focusing on enterprise applications, IT security and user services, according to the announcement. He spent nine years at the university in IT and leadership roles.
Rekhi also spent nine years at the University of Notre Dame as director of application services and senior IT leader, the announcement said.
According to UD spokesperson Cara Zinski-Neace, the current CIO role was restructured to become a vice president position and moved under Business and Administrative Services.
The current CIO Tom Skill is stepping down after 18 years, but will remain in the provost’s office as associate provost for strategic initiatives and planning to support incoming provost Darlene Weaver, Zinski-Neace said.
As VPCIO, Rekhi will lead Udit, the university’s IT services team with over 80 employees, though some elements that are guided by academic strategy will continue to report to Skill and the provost’s office.
UD President Eric F. Spina said that they are excited to welcome Rekhi, saying, “His talents, prior work experience and values align so well with the University, which will benefit him in building strong relationships and partnerships with the owners and stakeholders for various systems across campus.”
