Debbie Hren
Transition Director, Office of Telecommunications Services General Services Administration
EIS enabler. Hren is leading GSA’s massive effort to help 150 agencies move from expiring telecom contracts to the $50 billion, next-generation Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions contract. As the deadline for making the transition approaches, Hren has worked tirelessly with agencies and other stakeholders to create analyti- cal and instructional tools and other resources that can ease the transi- tion. In addition, she brought together a Predictive Analysis Collaboration Team of agency representatives and EIS suppliers to help identify how long it takes to transition certain services so agencies can devise more precise implementation schedules.
Daniel C. Ireland
Enterprise Architect, Naval Surface Warfare Center-Crane Division Department of the Navy
High-speed security. Internet
access and commercial applications are essential to daily life for Navy personnel, but those services need
to be secure — and fast. So Ireland designed a tool that automates check- list creation for the Defense Infor- mation Systems Agency’s Security Technical Implementation Guides. The tool imports the latest bench- mark content for unreviewed items, runs the Security Content Automation Protocol, imports the results and per- forms additional checks on supported
“not reviewed” items. Thanks to his efforts, it’s now easier for adminis- trators to finalize checklists, and the Navy has saved 21,500 man-hours and more than $7.5 million a year.
Holly S. Joers
Deputy Program Executive Officer- Acquisition, Defense Healthcare Management Systems, and Interim Deputy Director, Federal Electronic Health Record Modernization Program Office Defense Department
The EHR executive. Joers directs the $4.3 billion global effort to deploy DOD’s modernized electronic health record, MHS GENESIS. Thanks to her executive management, MHS GEN- ESIS deployed to four sites simultane- ously in September 2019, doubling the number of active sites and doing so without a single patient safety issue to date. She also proved instrumental in the establishment of a new joint DOD/Department of Veterans Affairs office to implement a single, common EHR system for more than 18 million beneficiaries. By setting and enforcing standards for protecting patient data, she is leading the way in advancing health care delivery and data sharing nationwide.
Mark Junda
Director, VA Technology Acquisition Center
Department of Veterans Affairs
Acquisition evangelist. A pioneer graduate of the Digital IT Acquisition Professional training program,
Junda has been a role model as an
acquisition innovation advocate. He has used micro-consulting services, human-centered design methodology and routine conversations with industry partners to lower barriers to entry, improve delivery time and increase customer satisfaction with veteran services. Junda is a strong proponent of testing and sharing and has contributed case studies to the Acquisition Gateway, chronicling
the VA’s work with the U.S. Digital Service on modernization and cloud. He is also credited with bringing nontraditional IT vendors into the federal marketplace.
Suzette Kent
Federal CIO
Office of Management and Budget
Making modernization happen.
Kent began 2019 managing the many IT complications that came with an extended government shutdown,
and when the shutdown ended, she was directly involved with efforts to get feds paid quickly and accurately. Once government was back at
work, she pushed forward with the administration’s modernization plan by creating the Federal Data Strategy and a corresponding action plan
and updating the Trusted Internet Connections policy and the Identity, Credential and Access Management Policy to increase the security of government systems. Kent also championed a governmentwide revamp of payroll systems called NewPay.
