Zynga Announces New CIO: Cisco's Debra Chrapaty

Chrapaty has an extensive background at big tech companies, including a three-year stint as president of E*Trade in the late 90s, seven years as a corporate vice president at Microsoft, and mostly recently a year and a half as the senior vice president of collaborative software at Cisco.

While Zynga has been hiring veteran technologists since its early days, and has been especially successful in building out its own infrastructure to supports its many large games, the CIO position is to our knowledge new.
