Government consultancy Dynamic Integrated Services has hired a new executive vice president in Mark Forman, formerly of Science Applications International Corp. and often considered the first-ever federal chief information officer.
Forman will lead DIS’ enterprise optimization and transformation function to work with federal agencies on their organizational and digital strategies, the company said Wednesday.
He most recently was VP of digital government strategy at SAIC and joined the company through its acquisition of the former Unisys Federal business, where his roles included VP of digital government and global public sector head.
While in federal service, Forman was administrator of the White House E-Government and IT office between 2001 and 2003. That position has evolved into what is now the federal CIO.
The industry execs on FCW s Federal 100 list for 2021
Each year our sibling publication FCW releases its Federal 100 a list of the women and men who “personify what’s possible in federal IT.”
That’s how FCW Editor-in-Chief Troy Schneider described it last week when the the 2021 winners were announced. Hundreds of nominations were submitted. A panel of government and industry judges winnowed submissions down to the 100.
FCW will be reporting on the winners over the coming months and it all culminates in the Fed 100 gala on Aug. 27. Yes: the plan is to do it in person. Fingers crossed. It’s always a great night.
