Global influence and advantage increasingly hinge on how well we fuse public sector purpose with private sector innovation. I’ve operated on both sides—modernizing government with AI and data, and now helping the public sector adopt private-sector agility. The Krach Institute is advancing that fusion, giving the U.S. a decisive edge in the global tech race.
