Stephanie Mango
President, CGI Federal
As the federal government advances administration priorities for technology and innovation, national security and government accountability, Stephanie Mango is translating goals into measurable outcomes. Under her leadership, CGI Federal is focused on five mission-critical areas: AI, back-office transformation, cybersecurity, total asset visibility and combating fraud, waste and abuse. These are all areas where CGI’s unique expertise helps agencies strengthen operations, safeguard critical systems and improve transparency for the citizens they serve.
Why Watch
Mango is deepening CGI Federal’s commitment to performance-based contracting—a results-driven model the company already applies in government programs and has long proven in its commercial business. Linking contractor earnings to outcomes delivered rather than effort expended reinforces accountability and impact. Expanding this approach across more programs requires leaders to embrace smart risk and clients to align around how value is defined and measured. In government, success isn’t measured by profit margins; it’s measured by mission execution, efficiency and the delivery of services that improve people’s lives.
Hand-in-hand with contract innovation is the transformative power of AI. A self-described AI evangelist, Mango is steering CGI Federal toward becoming “AI-native” by embedding AI into the fabric of operations and rethinking processes holistically to unlock new value across federal missions.
“I’m excited about the potential of AI to completely transform how government operates and how citizens experience services,” she said. “This isn’t just about technology, it’s about creating smarter, faster, more accessible ways for government to deliver on its mission.”
Mango pairs proven commercial practices with federal mission rigor, expanding performance-based models and championing an AI-native future so government delivers outcomes that matter.
Fun fact: Mango loves tracking down hidden gems at thrift shops and local markets. One family story says her daughter was 11 before she ever saw a store tag on a new item, a reflection of Mango’s long-standing habit of finding value in second-hand treasures.
