Ashley Mahan – 2020
Director, FedRAMP and Secure Cloud Portfolio, General Services Administration
Ashley Mahan leads the FedRAMP team within the General Services Administration responsible for overseeing the federal government’s standardized cloud security authorization process. Mahan told FedScoop that good leaders have three common characteristics: a strong communicated vision, a strategy or course for achieving that vision and a constant level of support to empower a team to succeed. “Collaboration and enrolling others is key to any successful program,” she said. “It’s one thing to have a vision or good idea, but it’s another to implement it and that really takes a team of dedicated and passionate people and it’s all about the team.”
