                                     Rep. Will Hurd
Congressman
U.S. House of Representatives
The IT facilitator. In just a few short years in Congress, Hurd has earned a reputation as a bipartisan collaborator and a leader on federal technology policy. His efforts to push through the Modernizing Government Technology Act have set the stage for IT modernization for years to come. He said the inclusive approach he and his staff took to working with
all the stakeholders in government, industry and Congress proved criti- cal to the bill’s passage. “There were folks who had concerns or thought we should zig versus zag,” Hurd said, “but we worked all that out before we dropped text.”
Tim Hurlebaus
President
CGI Federal
Growth driver. Hurlebaus has led CGI Federal through several small
but strategic acquisitions that have brought more high-end consulting, cloud solutions and digital services
to its federal customers. Under his leadership, the company helped the Agriculture Department migrate to a cloud-based shared-services plat- form called Momentum. Forty other federal agencies use Momentum for sevices such as  nancial management. The company also worked with the Army to develop a new enterprise- wide system for contract writing and management and launched credential management for 26 federal agencies as part of Phase 2 of the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program.
Kamal Jabbour
Senior Scientist for Information Assurance, Air Force Research Labs Department of the Air Force
Dedicated teacher. Jabbour led a 72-member vulnerability analysis and resiliency group in combing through 15 acquisition systems worth $200 billion to analyze their cybersecurity. He was then tapped to assess a key Air Force Materiel Command space system. Beyond his skill at switching between working on F-35 systems one day and business enterprise systems the next, Jabbour is known for his ability to educate and inspire students. “They leave his classes as highly motivated experts in cyber methodology, systems engineering and cyber resilience,” said William Redmond, executive director of the Air Force’s Operational Test and Evaluation Center.
Tom Jones
Deputy Director, Spectrum Policy and International Engagements, Of ce of the CIO
Department of Defense
DOD’s global ambassador. Jones’ work is critical to ensuring that DOD and U.S. allies are synchronized across portfolios, including informa- tion exchanges and policy develop- ment on secure mobile communi- cations, spectrum, cybersecurity, tactical communications and infor- mation systems security. Much of that vital engagement was behind the scenes, but Jones also planned, coor- dinated and executed two U.S.-
hosted CIO forums — at U.S. Paci c Command and the Naval Postgradu- ate School — and a similar meeting in Australia. By working relentlessly to engage with his counterparts across a wide range of time zones, he ensured that the events — and the broader partnerships — were as productive as possible.
Rob Joyce
White House Cyber Coordinator
National Security Council
King of the cyber hill. Joyce, the former leader of an elite National Security Agency hacking division, has helped set the stage for national and international conversations about cybersecurity as President Donald Trump’s top adviser on information security policy. In 2017, Joyce was responsible for implementing the executive order on cybersecurity, pushed federal IT modernization as
a cybersecurity strategy, introduced
a more transparent framework to govern bug disclosures and helped institute “name and shame” strategies for nation state-oriented cyberattacks. Joyce has earned bipartisan respect for his expertise as the Trump admin- istration made cybersecurity a top policy priority.
