Chief Growth Officer, Iron Bow Technologies
Federal agencies as well as state and local governments are on a journey toward aligning their network consumption models and outcomes with the seamless experiences delivered by as-a-service offerings.
Unfortunately, not all public sector customers are prepared to embrace new capabilities and not all networking vendors can support it, Sean Robertson said. As a result, the public sector faces additional hurdles that cause growing pains and lengthy integration processes.
Agencies are also challenged with the rapid accumulation of technical debt across the federal and state and local landscape. This backlog of outdated technology and infrastructure strains agency budgets, creates much greater opportunity for security vulnerabilities by malicious actors, and prevents progress by disrupting digital transformation efforts.
“The role of technology is rapidly changing for our customers and we are committed to providing the insight, expertise and support they need to achieve their goals,” Robertson said. “By identifying and tackling institutional problems such as outdated infrastructure and growing technical debt, we are helping public sector agencies modernize and deliver capabilities faster and with greater security. I’m proud to lead such a passionate and talented team who has not only generated fantastic results, but consistently demonstrates their willingness to go the extra mile for our customers.”
Why Watch
Robertson is driven by one question: “What will help our customer?” He is deeply committed to advancing Iron Bow’s mission in the public sector in 2024. His strategic focus is multifaceted: First, to work closely with public sector customers and construct tailored offerings, including a commitment to advancing enterprise as a service solutions.
In the realm of tailored offerings, Robertson and his team are dedicated to collaborating with public sector entities to identify and implement technologies and strategies that support customer goals. This includes a keen emphasis on reducing the increasing volume of technical debt in government operations, contributing significantly to operational efficiency and effectiveness.
Furthermore, Robertson’s commitment extends to doubling down on cybersecurity efforts through Iron Bow’s work in Commercial Solutions for Classified for the federal government. By enhancing the company’s presence in this crucial area, Robertson aims to bolster the cybersecurity posture of public sector customers.
At the same time, he focuses on developing new sales talent through the Level Up Sales Academy. This program helps build a team focused on customer success and prepares them to adapt to changing technology and strategies, particularly in areas like cybersecurity and business solutions.
“Iron Bow is fortunate to say that in a landscape of economic challenges, talent shortages and staffing reductions, we have cultivated an incredibly skilled team who is passionate about generating positive results,” said Rene LaVigne, CEO of Iron Bow. “Sean is an exemplary leader in our organization and I’m confident that in 2024 he will continue to build on the successes he and the team achieved in 2023.”
