Fulton County Manager Dick Anderson has named two key members of the Fulton County Executive Team - Chief Information Officer Sallie Fulsom Wright and Finance Director Hakeem Oshikoya. Both appointments are effective immediately.
"The roles of CIO and Finance Director are critical in helping lead Fulton County to realize the vision of being First in efficiency, service and impact," said Anderson. “Wright and Oshikoya each bring decades of experience and expertise in their respective fields and we are excited to have them as members of the Fulton County leadership team.”
The CIO will lead the Fulton County Information Technology team

Last month she was inducted into the PinkTech Hall of Fame, which recognizes female leaders in Information Technology.
The Fulton County Finance Director is responsible for preparing and managing Fulton County’s
annual budget, totaling nearly $1 billion across all funds. Hakeem Oshikoya has served Fulton County’s Finance Department since 2006, most recently as Interim Finance Director and previously as Budget Manager. He has more than 25 years of experience in public sector finance, including service with the City of South Miami and the City of Florida City, where he served as Chief Financial Officer. Oshikoya is a Certified Public Account who holds a Master’s degree in Economics/Accounting and a Bachelor’s degree in Finance, both from Southern Illinois University.
