Jason Prow
US Federal Chief Technology Officer, IBM
Under Jason Prow’s guidance, the federal market is tapping into IBM’s legacy of innovation and a trusted, outcomes-driven approach to service delivery. IBM oLabs, an innovation center under Prow’s direction focused on federal clients’ needs, highlights how transformative technology initiatives are driving measurable value for federal agencies.
Federal teams work side-by-side with IBM experts at oLabs to design, test and scale production-ready assets and solutions in environments that mirror real-world conditions. This collaborative service delivery approach, Prow said, accelerates the adoption of generative AI and hybrid cloud in support of core government priorities — streamlining manual processes, boosting productivity and enhancing citizen experiences.
At the same time, Prow’s CTO team is expanding IBM’s delivery of intelligent automation platforms tailored to federal mission needs — modernizing outdated workflows and helping agencies reduce waste and inefficiencies. He points to the IBM ATOM platform — an open, AI-driven platform that connects data, workflows and systems across federal ecosystems — as a leading example of IBM’s future-ready capabilities.
With nearly two decades of experience at IBM supporting military and civilian agencies, Prow continues to advance intelligent automation through platforms like ATOM while also leading the development of next-generation technologies that streamline operations and improve efficiency.
These efforts have generated significant cost savings and operational efficiencies while enabling large-scale productivity gains across federal missions.
Why Watch
Prow and his team remain focused on helping agencies stay ahead of evolving mission demands. Through IBM oLabs and the CTO function, agencies can design, test and scale enterprisewide solutions that extend from headquarters to the field. Building on proven success in areas such as edge AI, IBM enables agencies to rapidly pilot and operationalize capabilities across diverse mission environments.
