Top 20 Cloud Executives to Watch in 2021

Dan Tucker, Vice President & Digital Platform Capability Team Lead, Booz Allen Hamilton

Dan Tucker has been working to lead digital transformation initiatives across civil government during a time of national need.

This past year, his team worked with the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Internal Revenue Service, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and others, designing cloud-enabled solutions so agencies could serve their stakeholders at speed — whether for distributing stimulus checks, tracking disease transmission rates or ensuring timely delivery of benefits to veterans.

“Looking back at 25 years in the industry, I can think of no more exciting time to work on applying deep technology in support of public service,” Tucker said. “Innovation across cloud, data management and artificial intelligence is accelerating faster than ever before, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see how these solutions are integrating to transform citizen lives and experiences.”

Why Watch

Tucker’s team is focused on building, deploying and open sourcing accelerants to help the government bring innovative capabilities and services to an increasingly digital-first citizenship at commercial-grade velocity.

By using proven development platforms, harnessing multicloud platforms and leveraging contemporary DataOps methods, his team is working to increasingly advance government services through the enablement of AI, automation and data science.
