As we enter a pivotal year for the federal landscape, we are thrilled to announce the 2025 Engage Federal Health 150 Honorees. These leaders in IT and consulting, from both industry and government, are set to spearhead innovation. With a new Administration on the horizon, this esteemed group of technology and business consulting professionals is ready to propel the critical missions of Federal Health agencies forward. The nomination process was incredibly competitive, with hundreds of entries evaluated. Each honoree was nominated and selected by their peers, celebrating their outstanding contributions to the field.
Across the Federal sector, there’s constant talk of breaking down silos, promoting transparency, and fostering collaboration. But these leaders aren’t just talking the talk; they are living it. They are setting a powerful example of what it means to lead with purpose, inspiring their teams and peers to do the same. Their selfless commitment to improving how government and industry collaborate is reshaping the way we work together—not for personal gain, but for the betterment of the entire industry.
As we continue our mission to highlight leaders #doingitright, we are thrilled to celebrate these innovators who embrace bold strategies and forward-thinking approaches. They are driving a culture shift that prioritizes open communication, transparency, and collaboration within and between the Federal government and its industry partners, particularly across the Federal Health sector, including the VA, HHS, Defense/Military Health, CMS, and related agencies. The 2025 honorees stand out not only for their leadership but for their commitment to creating a more collaborative future, ultimately delivering real, measurable impact for U.S. citizens, our Veterans and Warriors, business leaders, educators, seniors, caregivers, families, and children.
