G2X TAKE: Given experience gained as a senior executive for a leading T4NG prime and as a former IT executive with VA, the recent post of this newly certified SDVOSB is worth taking note of. We expect Ed Syms to receive his fair share of congratulations at DHITS next week as community members strive to better understand how they can work with Ed and his recently formed SDVOSB, Syms Strategic Group, LLC, (SSG). Having served (and currently serving) as a senior executive with multiple highly successful small businesses and prior to that as an IT executive with VA, to include recent roles as Director for Corporate and Patient Flow Portfolios and the DOD/VA IPO Director for iEHR Hospital Administration, Ed brings the types of perspective, relationships and understanding that potential partners covet and will look to leverage. We should note that Ed was nominated and selected by the Federal Health community as a FedHealthIT100 award winner in early 2017 - see the full list here.
