GovTech Leaders are Hoping the Government Isn't Slow to Innovate

Chrissy McGarry is the Chief Operating Officer of Second Front Systems, a software company that accelerates delivery of technology to U.S. warfighters. We all know working in this space that the government is slow to innovate, but this innovative company works in around innovative technologies, and if not more important, innovative people. So today we’re going to talk about how their company grew, AI, and the business of hiring technical people. McGarry gives a rundown on their product, Game Warden, and how it gets tech to warfighters faster. She also tells us about the journey from start-up to 100 people at Second Front, how the business of hiring technical people these days is tough to say the least, industry issues she is seeing in the HR or recruitment functions, and artificial intelligence (AI). Second Front and other companies signed on to this letter to bring about change in DoD software acquisition. We also unpack the content of the letter and why it’s critical to our industry.
