Name: Bryan Sivak
Title: Chief Technology Officer
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
IT acquisition innovator. In the past year, Sivak has been reshaping acquisition at HHS by eliminating practices that often result in failed IT projects. He helped launch the IDEA Lab, which lets employees test new ideas, and the HHS Buyers Club, which is a product of the lab and seeks to modernize IT acquisition. The Buyers Club joins a growing list of government innovation hubs, but its success is thanks to Sivak's dedication to giving officials access to the full slate of existing acquisition tools.
