After a storied, four-decade career in federal IT, Deputy Federal CIO Maria Roat retired in March of this year. Maria spent 25 years in the Navy and Naval Reserve, then served in leadership roles in an array of federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Small Business Administration and the Department of Transportation.
Few can claim the breadth of professional experience that Maria can, and fewer still can match her extracurricular activity. Maria has served as both ACT's President and Vice President as well as a conference chair and frequent speaker and moderator at ACT-IAC's many events.
In this episode, Maria sits down with her friend and former Federal CIO Suzette Kent to reflect on Maria's years of hard work and discuss what the future holds for her and for the government IT sector.
ACT-IAC would like to profoundly thank Maria for her valuable contributions and decades of service.
