Maybe to kind of kick us off, do you mind sharing with our audience a little about kind of your role, kind of what you do today, and maybe how you got here in your career?
I'm so excited to talk about all things business enablement and AI today.
So that means we get to understand how data, AI and technology works all over the world and enable 50,000 employees to be their most productive, supercharged selves to provide IT services for our customer base.
And so over my career, over 20, almost 25 years now, I have been providing IT and cyber services to clients all around the globe.
And in the last two to three years, sitting in the CIO seat, really looking at how do we make technology enablement even more tangible for our employees? And it's always a special privilege to be able to figure out how to make the digital tangible.
So maybe you can share a little bit to kind of give some perspective there and maybe talk a little bit about kind of some of the responsibilities that fall under you as CIO.
So we have a defense sector, which is primarily serving our US government.
We have a Intel sector, which is serving our Intel communities, very high-end software, cyber capabilities, and complex solutions there.
We've got our Homeland team, which is serving homelands, both here in the United States, as well as overseas, and so providing capabilities, IT and cyber to both governments, regulated industries, and international customers.
We also have a health sector, which is providing health services all across the US, especially to our veteran community.
And so the diversity across these different sectors and businesses is quite large.
We also have a business sector where they honed all of our core digital transformation initiatives and capabilities.
And so that is where a lot of our technology capabilities will source from.
and we within the cio will often we call it customer zero so we pilot those capabilities and determine if we can provide back a proof point and one of my favorite parts about my job is even as cio is still being able to go talk to customers about what's working about what's hard about what else we tried what else we considered And so those kinds of real world conversations are so impactful CIO to CIO, whether you're the client or you're on the contractor side.
And so that's been really impactful, but the diversity there means it's a different conversation when we apply our four value framework.
