Federal 100: Bill Zielinski
Name: Bill Zielinski
Title: Deputy Assistant Commissioner, Office of IT Category, Federal Acquisition Service
Agency: General Services Administration
Categorically fearless. Zielinski had the daunting job of setting the strategy for the $54 billion federal agencies spend on IT in GSA's six buying categories. He also worked with key White House offices to link the Trump administration's IT modernization and cybersecurity initiatives with acquisition strategies and goals. He was a major contributor to the IT Modernization Plan and developed small-agency network and security opportunities identified in the plan. At the same time, he led program development efforts for major GSA contracts, including Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions, Alliant 2 and Veterans Technology Services.
