I oversee IT operations and strategy to ensure secure, efficient, and innovative solutions for the community. This includes managing infrastructure, safeguarding systems, and enhancing emergency communication capabilities. I create solutions that improve crisis response and service continuity.
Fischer led Germantown’s response to the 2024 cybersecurity incident. I prioritized supporting my team as they worked tirelessly to restore critical systems. My experience in disaster zones taught me the importance of clear communication and resilience. Thanks to the team’s dedication and our proactive use of cloud-based infrastructure, we were able to maintain essential services like utilities and finance while minimizing disruption to the community
Fischer sees cybercrime as a major problem in the industry. One of the biggest challenges for IT teams in mid-sized and smaller organizations is competing with cybercriminals who are often better funded, better staffed, and highly motivated
