Fostering solutions. Dullea leads the nonprofit, zero-equity startup accelerator MassChallenge, which fosters a global network for inno- vators working to solve massive challenges. She has helped fast-track nontraditional dual-use (commercial
and federal) ventures through the federal acquisition process by iden- tifying startups with the potential to drive novel solutions, processes and technologies. Under her leadership, the organization removed traditional barriers so that early-stage startups could connect to defense, public safe- ty and health care communities last year. Dullea has been instrumental
in ensuring that MassChallenge plays a vital role in bringing innovative technology solutions to the federal government and strengthening local and global innovation economies.
Matt Eanes
Director, Performance Accountability Council Program Management Office Office of Management and Budget
Shaping bold and visionary reforms. In 2020, Eanes made great strides on high-level policy reforms that will fundamentally change how the government establishes and main- tains trust in its workforce. He played a critical role in creating the intellec- tual framework for Trusted Workforce 2.0, an effort to overhaul the security clearance process. He also led the development of two governmentwide policies that define the vision for ongoing reforms: a National Security Presidential Memorandum on the topic and the Federal Personnel Vet- ting Core Doctrine, which provides the vision and principles that will guide reforms. Those efforts will have an impact throughout the executive branch for decades to come.
