Casey Coleman’s Take on What’s Next for Federal IT
It’s been exactly one year since Casey Coleman started her new role as client executive vice president at AT&T Government Solutions. But her time on the industry side of the table still pales in comparison to her 12 years at GSA, and Coleman said the understanding of federal IT operations she gained there has been invaluable when working with government customers.
Here are excerpts from her conversation with FCW. This interview was edited for length and clarity.
You’ve been in the saddle at AT&T for a year. What has your focus been?
We’re a company that’s doing really impactful work that I, as a former CIO, can really appreciate. My role here is really to connect our customers with the solutions they need to help fulfill their mission, to strengthen and grow our relationships and to understand the missions of those agencies and what they’re trying to achieve and to help map together solutions that will help them to fulfill their missions and meet their critical compliance challenges.
How has your experience in government translated to this new role?
There are two key benefits, having been a federal senior executive for many years and an agency CIO. I think that I understand the challenges they face, the initiatives they’re trying to accomplish and the environments in which they need to operate successfully.
