All about the outcome. Look closely at almost any governmentwide IT initiative and you're likely to find Conrad involved behind the scenes. In 2014, those efforts -- which included 18F, the Presidential Innovation Fellows, identity management and cloud security, to name but a few -- kicked into another gear as she ran OCSIT in an acting capacity for much of the year. Conrad put extra effort into making sure FedRAMP steadily improved and keeping all the stakeholders in the loop as the program evolved.
