Stepping up. It is no surprise that Puvvada's turn as acting president ended with him being given the position permanently. He is known for driving success at the personnel, project and strategic levels, and last year led the effort to migrate the Interior Department's enterprise financial systems to a secure cloud environment after the company was the first to win a task order under the department’s cloud services contract. He was also instrumental in Unisys' investment in mobile and agile development capabilities at its Application Modernization Center of Excellence in St. Louis, which resulted in new contracts and a 100 percent increase in staffing levels.
