G2X TAKE: Looking to leverage his prior experience supporting HHS as the Deputy Director for the Office of Grants and Acquisition Policy and Accountability; and as an executive supporting the Assistant Secretary for Grants and the Office of Recipient Integrity Coordination prior to that, Karl Alvarez has taken a new role supporting Beth Killoran and the HHS Office of the CIO. With HHS preparing to see some major shifts in both budget and focus in FY2018 in support of the new administration’s agenda, firms will be working to get to know these leaders who both understand the changing landscape and can help affect and influence the direction and decisions that top agency technology and business leaders will be faced with.
