Christopher Townsend
Industry Leadership of the Year
Automation played a key role during the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. UiPath Vice President of Federal Christopher Townsend said government customers were “doubly affected, because they not only had to deal with telework, but they had to deal with the incremental burden of administering a lot of the COVID programs.” UiPath used its technology to offload some of that burden, he said. “That was my proudest moment — that we could really contribute to helping our government agencies through this difficult time.”
