RESTON, Va., Dec. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys
Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced that Venkatapathi "PV"
Puvvada, president of Unisys Federal, has been elected to serve as
chair of the Professional Services Council (PSC) board of
directors.
PSC is an industry trade group that represents the interests of
technology and professional services companies serving the U.S.
federal government. In his new role at PSC, Puvvada will lead in
guiding the development and implementation of the group's strategic
priorities to provide unparalleled value to members by serving as
the leading voice for the government professional and technology
services industry.
Today's announcement is the latest in a series of leadership
appointments for Puvvada at PSC. In June
2017, Puvvada was elected as vice chair of PSC's executive
committee and board of directors. He also previously served as
chair of 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.
"PV has served in many leadership roles at PSC over the years,
and this week's election represents an opportunity for PSC to draw
on his years of experience," said David J.
Berteau, president and CEO of PSC. "His knowledge and
willingness to collaborate across all sectors of the industry will
serve our organization well as we renew our commitment to making
the government a smarter customer and better buyer."
Beyond his work leading the U.S. federal government business for
Unisys, Puvvada has received many awards and recognition for his
contributions to the federal IT community. In 2015, for example,
Federal Computer Week recognized Puvvada for his work with its prestigious Eagle Award,
an annual award recognizing "the best of the best" of those who
have made significant contributions to federal government IT.
"As chairman, I will work to ensure that PSC focuses on
strategic priorities that provide high-value services for our
member companies, building on PSC's success over the past 45
years," Puvvada said. "Working with PSC members and key government
stakeholders, we will continue our mission to enable a more fair
and competitive government contracting industry in 2018 and
beyond."
