BLUE BELL, Pa., Dec. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys Corporation
(NYSE: UIS) announced today that Venkatapathi "PV" Puvvada,
president of Unisys Federal, was re-elected to a new three-year
term on the Professional Services Council (PSC) board of directors
and newly elected to serve on its executive committee.
PSC is an industry trade group that represents the interests of
technology and professional services companies serving the federal
government. Its executive committee is a subgroup of the PSC board
that makes decisions on behalf of the full board between board
meetings.
In addition, Puvvada was appointed to chair PSC's Civilian
Agencies Council that focuses on the acquisition policies and
strategies of federal civilian agencies, including the departments
of Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs, Health and Human Services,
and Energy.
PSC serves as the voice of the government technology and
professional services industry, representing more than 400 member
companies, and is a respected industry leader on legislative and
regulatory issues related to government acquisition, business and
technology. PSC helps shape public policy, leads strategic
coalitions and works to build consensus between government and
industry.
"With a new administration coming to Washington with a new set of priorities and
plans, the role of the PSC and industry leaders like PV will be
critical," said David Berteau,
president and CEO of the PSC. "The PSC and its members welcome PV's
continued contribution to our board of directors and his new role
leading our very important work with federal civilian
agencies."
Puvvada has been widely recognized for his many contributions to
the federal IT community. In addition to his work with the PSC, he
has been active as a leader of the Industry Advisory Council, a
public-private partnership organization dedicated to advancing
government and industry partnership through the improved
application of information technology. Last year, Federal
Computer Week recognized his work by naming him the 2015
industry recipient of the prestigious Eagle Award, an annual award
recognizing "the best of the best" of those who have made
significant contributions to federal government IT.
"I welcome this opportunity to expand my work with PSC and to
continue contributing to its important work on behalf of the
federal technology community," Puvvada said. "I would like to thank
the PSC membership for re-electing me to the board, and I look
forward to working with my peers in the coming year to advance the
interests of federal technology companies and our clients."
