In Memoriam: Richard Mangogna, 86

Former Chief Information Officer at Chase

 
Richard (Rick) F. Mangogna, 86, died at his home in Naples, FL, on October 26, 2026.
 
Born in Queens, NY, Mangogna served in the U.S. Air Force from 1958 to 1964. Following his military service, he embarked on a distinguished career in banking that took him across the globe and ultimately led to his role as an Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer of Chase prior to his retirement in 2002.
 

Recognizing his exceptional leadership and expertise, President George W. Bush appointed him as the Chief Information Officer of the Department of Homeland Security on April 16, 2008, a critical duty he proudly carried out through the remainder of the administration.

 

He then worked for more than 15 years, first as a senior consultant and then as CEO, for Mason Harriman Group, a DC-based consultancy. He finally retired two years ago.
 

 
Mangogna is survived by his wife of 61 years, Frances (Conroy) Mangogna, five children and 16 grandchildren.  

Donations in Mangogna's memory may be made to Avow at 1095 Whippoorwill Ln, Naples, FL 34105, or www.AvowCares.org
