Neil Kronimus
Senior Vice President, Maximus
For federal agencies, the cloud has been the catalyst for implementing new solutions and emerging technologies to better meet today’s needs.
Few know this space better than Neil Kronimus, a leader in federal IT and cloud technology for decades. In recent years, he has been recognized with several industry awards honoring his leadership and reputation in systems integration and cloud technology.
He joined Maximus in 2023, and his impact on the company has been felt across the wide range of cloud-enabled technology solutions and projects for federal agencies.
“We’ve reached a pivotal time of transformation for government agencies, and Maximus is at the forefront, driving efficiency by harnessing the power of the cloud and AI-powered technologies,” Kronimus said. “By integrating our unique strategies and processes with best-in-class AI and cloud technology, Maximus has achieved outstanding success in delivering stronger support for our agency partners.”
In particular, Kronimus credited federal agencies for adopting cloud technologies that innovate and automate internal processes while developing better ways to meet mission objectives.
Why Watch
Kronimus and Maximus remain focused on the company’s core goals of efficiency and effectiveness for agencies, seeking to better serve constituents while streamlining activities. In pursuit of that goal, Kronimus puts emphasis on data, which should be the foundation of policymaking and leveraging it as a strategic asset.
“By automating tasks, from data collection and processing to data cleansing and labeling, agencies can use AI to improve the overall quality of data management,” Kronimus said. “As one example, AI can be used to identify outliers or anomalies and enrich the features in the toolsets to make sure data quality is better. It’s all about decision intelligence and using insights and data to make informed decisions.
Similarly, Kronimus believes simplifying government data sharing will improve the data exchange between departments and agencies, which has long been a significant challenge. Add in government-specific regulations and compliance requirements and information sharing becomes even more complicated, and technology progresses faster than policymaking.
“It makes adoption a little more challenging because sometimes it’s like putting a square peg in a round hole,” he said. “It’s about finding the right use cases and workloads that still follow compliance rules, but also help agencies move forward until those rules and regulations are updated.”
