In this episode of The Buzz with ACT-IAC, we are in conversation with Ratima Kataria, VP of Health and IT Strategy at ICF. We talk about her career journey from satellite communications and semiconductors into federal health, including serving on the government side during COVID-19, and how high-stakes environments shaped her leadership values. Kataria explains ICF’s work helping federal agencies modernize at the intersection of enterprise modernization, data strategy, and responsible AI adoption amid fragmented data, legacy platforms, and demand for AI-enabled services. She describes a “think big, start small” approach focused on mission-aligned tech strategy, data governance and interoperability, platform consolidation, and scaling trusted AI use cases.
