Jirka joined Oracle after a rewarding career in the Canadian Public Service. Beginning as Chief Technology and Security Officer of what was then, Public Works and Government Services Canada, Jirka became Chief Information Officer of the Shared Services branch of the department which eventually formed the task force that created a business case for the creation of Shared Services Canada (SSC). This taskforce was the first to move into the newly minted SSC in 2012 where Jirka served as CTO and CISO. Later that year, an order in council led to Shared Services Canada’s servicing of 43 other departments and agencies and Jirka was asked to lead the enterprise architecture that formed the basis of SSC’s mandate which persists to the present day.
