Jeanette Manfra
Assistant Director for Cybersecurity
Department of Homeland Security
The transformer. Manfra helped transform the National Protection and Programs Directorate into the Cyber- security and Infrastructure Secu-
rity Agency. Civilian departments, companies and state agencies now turn to CISA when their infrastruc- ture is targeted by cyberattacks. She describes 2018 as the culmination of
a long effort to build new capabilities in election security, risk management and federal network defense in order to recast NPPD’s mission to the public and Congress and gain support for legislation to formalize the transfor- mation to CISA. “Those capabilities that we were building and those part- nerships...set the groundwork to be able to take advantage of the opportu- nity,” Manfra said.
Jim Manzelmann
Assistant Deputy Director
Office of the Director of National Intelligence
The glue. Manzelmann was the intel- ligence community’s lead representa- tive for an interagency roundtable discussion hosted by the Partnership for Public Service. His involvement helped launch a wave of shared- services initiatives based on success- ful government models. He was con- sidered so essential that he was still involved in the initiative even after his detail at ODNI ended and he returned to the Defense Intelligence Agency. “He’s really a good example of some-
body who looked at all the different levers available to him and used them to drive a good result for agencies that have a common purpose,” said Dan Chenok, executive director of the IBM Center for the Business of Government.
Bill Marion
Deputy CIO
U.S. Air Force
Migration master. Marion was the primary driver behind the Air Force’s move to enterprise IT as a service
and the migration of legacy applica- tions to the cloud. The plan focuses on outsourcing business IT functions — including network and end-user services such as help desks — to streamline operations and ultimately free personnel to focus on other pri- orities. As a result, the Air Force has been able to reassign communications personnel to the cyber workforce. This is Marion’s second Federal 100 award. He was honored in 2015 for his contributions to unified commu- nications while serving as CTO at the Air Force Space Command.
Lynn Martin
Vice President, Government, Education and Healthcare
VMware
Virtualization liaison. Martin leads a team of about 500 professionals who work on cloud technology and virtualization initiatives for the Army, Navy, U.S. Postal Service, Defense Information Systems Agency and oth- ers, as well as state and local users
of the FirstNet public safety network and large defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon. She is known for not only delivering innovative solutions, but doing so on a budget. Martin has helped her customers find the best solutions at enterprise prices and has given back millions in funds to the U.S. Treasury when lower agreements kicked in.
Rajive Mathur
CIO
Social Security Administration
Rejuvenating Social Security.
Mathur is breathing new life into the 80-year-old SSA by using creative approaches to improve efficiency and secure data on over 300 million Americans. With his help, the agency has expanded its cloud capabilities, moved more transactions online, and improved decision support and fraud detection. Most recently, he oversaw SSA’s initiative to update its case- processing system for seamless, timely and accurate engagement with federal and state agencies. Mathur is also a charter member of the Tech- nology Modernization Fund Board, where he is accelerating the effective use of technology across the execu- tive branch.
