In an interview published by Washington Executive, Jason Providakes, a finalist for its Chief Executive Officer Award, shared advice on risk-taking and discussed MITRE’s impact, including the COVID-19 Healthcare Coalition, MITRE Engenuity, and sponsor work.
“We’re looking to strengthen our impact as a national resource—bringing together the ‘whole of nation’ and partnering with the private sector and industry to solve complex problems, like advancing national security and modernizing health care,” he said. “These problems bring rapidly evolving technical challenges, and we need to find new ways to engage the world for our country’s security, prosperity, and resilience.”
Providakes was nominated for leading MITRE’s quick response to the COVID-19 pandemic and modernizing and transforming the way MITRE does business.
The winner will be announced on May 27.
