Empowering the Future of Technology: Sabrina Holloman’s Leadership and Legacy in T&I

Discovering the excitement of computer programming in high school, Sabrina Holloman knew early on that she belonged in the field of technology - a field that was largely male-dominated at the time. Now, 23 years into her career with the City of Tallahassee, she stands as a leader in the industry, serving as the Deputy Director of Technology and Innovation (T&I) for Business Engagement and Professional Services.

Holloman plays a key role in evaluating emerging trends in technology and planning strategic improvements that enable City services like public safety, utilities and StarMetro to operate more efficiently. She was instrumental in the development of the City’s first computer-aided dispatch system that now supports Tallahassee’s Consolidated Dispatch Agency, ensuring that 911 dispatchers have reliable, smooth technology, ultimately improving response times.

She received a bachelor’s degree in computer information systems from Florida A&M University and is a graduate of Florida State University’s Certified Government Chief Information Officer and Public Manager programs. Prior to joining the City, Holloman held an impressive 11-year tenure in IT with Procter & Gamble. This combined education and expertise led her to be the City’s first African American and female Chief Information Officer, a role that laid the foundation for her current position.

A natural-born teacher, Holloman considers the opportunity to influence technology trends and employee-development to be her favorite parts of the job. Her division within T&I mentors students through the Tallahassee Future Leaders Academy each year hoping to inspire future generations toward a career in technology. The collaborative work environment she has created empowers her intelligent, capable team members to take the lead on projects with confidence in their ability to deliver outstanding results.
