Gloria Glaubman
CTO, ATS
Gloria Glaubman’s most significant recent achievement is designing ATS’ Technology & Capability Strategy, an 11-pillar framework transforming the company into a technology-enabled integrator and solutions provider for the intelligence community and Defense Department. Glaubman also led the enterprisewide prioritization and implementation of these pillars.
The effort includes establishing a formal Technology Governance Council to align investments and roadmaps with mission and growth priorities, building an enterprise analytics infrastructure and positioning ATS to compete in critical and emerging mission areas — applied AI, cybersecurity, data modernization and human-machine teaming — by systematically developing the necessary capabilities, partnerships and delivery models.
ATS CEO David Popelier said Glaubman hit the ground running as the company’s first CTO, quickly building rapport with colleagues and gathering input from stakeholders and subject matter experts to shape a technology strategy built for ATS and designed to drive transformational change in client delivery.
“In the coming months and years ATS will be an even greater asset to our national security customers as we deliver new capabilities at the speed of mission, and that will be in large part due to Gloria’s vision, leadership, and drive,” he added.
ATS is also aligned with the administration’s efficiency mandate. The company’s technology strategy was designed to help government customers do more with less through automation, AI-enabled workflow optimization and reduced vendor fragmentation.
Internally, ATS integrated back-office platforms into a unified analytics environment, eliminating redundant processes and giving leadership real-time visibility into workforce and financial performance.
Why Watch
In 2026, Glaubman and her team are focused on delivering capability, not just technical strategy. She’s leading the company’s transition to high-velocity, technology-enabled mission execution, operationalizing ATS’ core technology pillars and turning strategic roadmaps into immediate tactical advantages for mission partners.
Their immediate focus is accelerating applied AI across multiple missions — delivering and integrating capabilities tailored to the government’s most urgent requirements at the pace the mission demands. Simultaneously, Glaubman and her team are modernizing ATS’ internal “intellectual infrastructure” through enterprise AI adoption, embedding intelligence into how the company hires, develops, manages and deploys its people.
Together, these efforts position ATS not merely as a contractor that uses AI, but as an organization that operates through it — driving faster decisions, sharper insights and more resilient mission outcomes.
“The Intelligence Community taught me that the most dangerous assumption is that yesterday’s approach will solve tomorrow’s problem,” Glaubman said. “Staying ahead of critical and emerging technology isn’t a competitive advantage, it’s a professional obligation. The pace of change in AI, autonomy, and data science means our customers can’t afford a partner who’s catching up. At ATS, we’re building a technology company with mission DNA, purpose-built to help the Federal Government ride the wave of what’s next.”
Fun fact: Glaubman is a military brat who never outgrew the lifestyle. Behind the policy work and technology strategy is someone with incurable wanderlust—she’s chased new places, cultures and adventures her whole life. Growing up without a hometown taught her early that home is wherever you plant your flag. She’s planted many of them.
