Karen Dahut

Industry Leadership

Just over a year into her role as CEO of Google Public Sector, Karen Dahut is setting the guiding vision to bring more choice into the federal cloud marketplace and translate the innovative mindset that Google is known for around emerging technologies like artificial intelligence to government use cases. Prior to joining Google in 2022, Dahut was president of Booz Allen Hamilton’s global defense portfolio. Speaking with FedScoop recently, Dahut said “it is critical and important that our public sector customers look to consumer products. First of all, these consumer products are used by billions — with a ‘b’ — users in the world with ease and with security built-in. How do our public sector missions leverage these consumer products at an enterprise level to really help support and drive mission outcomes that are fast, effective and more efficient in its use?”
