RESTON, Va., May 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Leidos (NYSE:
LDOS), a global science and technology leader, announced
Vicki Schmanske, Deputy Group
President for Leidos Heath, was honored by Women in Technology with
its 2018 Leadership Award in the Corporate, Large-Market
Sector.
Women in Technology is a not-for-profit organization with the
mission of advancing women in technology — from the classroom to
the boardroom — by providing advocacy, leadership development,
networking, mentoring and technology education. The annual awards
program recognizes female leaders in the technology field who bring
a unique vision and talent to the industry.
"Vicki has led teams that have been charged with addressing some
of today's most complex technology challenges for critical,
national missions," said Jon Scholl,
Group President for Leidos Health. "Her work has been as diverse as
implementing the FBI's Next Generation Identification System, and
overseeing the team that runs the Frederick National Lab for Cancer
Research. In each instance, her teams and her customers have looked
to her because they know they have a trusted partner who will bring
the best in technology to their important work."
Schmanske was previously Vice President of Operations for the
former Lockheed Martin Information Systems and Global Solutions
Civil, responsible for overseeing the overall operations of a
$3 billion portfolio and a team of
10,000 employees serving federal IT customers.
Working to address the vast shortage of trained professionals,
especially women and minorities, in the fields of science,
technology, engineering, and math (STEM), Schmanske dedicates her
time to initiatives that educate and inspire youth to keep the
nation competitive for generations to come. As Vice President of
Education for the AFCEA Bethesda
Board of Directors, she is working on ways to create
partnerships and engage industry, government and academia for
symposiums that will strengthen dialogue and communication about
STEM. Additionally, for the past several years she has served as
the Corporate Executive Champion for the annual American Heart
Association - Washington Heart Walk.
