Rep. John Snyder, who represents a small portion of northeast Palm Beach County, will have a strong influence over Florida’s information technology investments, a major focus of House Speaker Daniel Perez.
Perez just named as Snyder Chair of the chamber’s new Information Technology Budget and Policy Subcommittee, which will develop strategies for the IT industry, including how and where to spend state dollars in the surging market.
He and the committee’s Vice Chair, Kevin Steele, both boast tech entrepreneurship backgrounds.
Snyder owns ESI Works, a tech-reliant recruitment and payroll company. Steele, meanwhile, founded and runs health care tech company DataLink.
