Eric Jorgensen Named Chief Executive Officer of AstreaX, a Michael Baker International Company, Advancing the Next Era of Digital Government

AstreaX, a Michael Baker International Company, today announced the appointment of Eric Jorgensen as Chief Executive Officer, positioning the organization to accelerate a new wave of innovation in digital government. A recognized leader in state government transformation, Mr. Jorgensen will guide AstreaX in expanding secure, citizen-centric platforms that help agencies modernize service delivery, improve operational performance and strengthen trust in a more connected, digital future.

In his role as CEO, Mr. Jorgensen will drive growth across AstreaX's portfolio of digital identity, mobile engagement and government platform solutions, while deepening collaboration across Michael Baker's enterprise to expand integrated, end-to-end Digital Government capabilities. Together, AstreaX's product innovation and Michael Baker's scale in engineering, infrastructure and advisory services position the organization to deliver more connected, resilient and future-ready solutions for government clients.

"Governments today are under increasing pressure to deliver services that are as seamless, secure and responsive as the private sector," said David Knigge, Co-Founder and President at AstreaX. "Eric brings a rare combination of executive leadership, public sector experience and a deep understanding of the technology required to meet that moment. His leadership will accelerate AstreaX's ability to deliver modern, citizen-first solutions while strengthening how we support clients across the broader Michael Baker organization."

AstreaX is redefining how citizens interact with government through innovations like AX Wallet, a secure, mobile friendly digital wallet platform, as well as user-friendly customer portals and secure digital identity solutions. As the developer of the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division's MAX system, a cloud-based platform supporting driver and vehicle services, motor carrier operations and scheduling, the company has helped agencies modernize service delivery and streamline operations at scale. AstreaX continues to expand this model as states across the U.S. and Canada adopt MAX to support modernization efforts, helping agencies replace fragmented legacy environments with secure, connected ecosystems that improve access, efficiency and transparency at scale.

"Government is at an inflection point where expectations for speed, simplicity and security are rapidly converging," said Mr. Jorgensen. "AstreaX is uniquely positioned to help agencies move faster and operate smarter by combining technology with public sector insight. Looking ahead, we will continue investing in scalable platforms and partnerships that unlock new ways for governments to serve their communities with greater efficiency, transparency and trust."

Mr. Jorgensen brings more than 20 years of leadership experience across state government and large-scale digital transformation initiatives. Most recently, he served as Vice President and Digital Government Practice Lead at Michael Baker International. Prior to that, he spent a decade as Director of the Arizona Department of Transportation's Motor Vehicle Division, where he led one of the nation's most advanced DMV modernization efforts, transforming service delivery, streamlining operations, and improving the citizen experience. His career also includes senior leadership roles at the Arizona Department of Child Safety and Arizona Department of Administration, along with experience in state budgeting and private-sector consulting.

Mr. Jorgensen holds a Master of International Affairs in Economic Policy from Columbia University and a Bachelor of Arts in International Political Science from Brigham Young University.
