Name:
Matthew T. Cornelius
Title:
Executive Director
Organization:
Alliance for Digital Innovation
Laying the groundwork for better government. The Alliance for Digital Innovation’s membership has grown by an impressive 50% since Cornelius joined the organization at the end of 2019 as its first full-time executive director. In that time, he ramped up communications between members and government officials — despite the difficulties posed by the pandemic — while providing valuable and actionable information for decision-makers. Under his leadership, the alliance produced a list of 10 priorities for the Biden administration and Congress, which is effectively a call to action for critical changes in policy and law to ensure that agencies can build the next generation of digital services.
