Human-Centered, Data-Driven Leadership: Scaling Federal Innovation with Olivia Trivisani Bowker
About this episode
What does it take to modernize government systems without losing sight of the people they serve?
In this episode of FORUM Impact: Women in Leadership, we sit down with Olivia Trivisani Bowker, Founder & CEO of Amivero, a mission-driven federal technology services firm advancing national security, public safety, and trusted government operations.
With nearly two decades delivering IT initiatives across the Department of Homeland Security, Olivia shares how her early career experiences shaped her leadership philosophy—and why empathy, data, and accountability are essential to sustainable innovation in government.
Founded in 2018 in Reston, VA, Amivero supports agencies including DHS (ICE, CBP, USCIS), DOJ, GSA TTS, and DOT, helping them modernize systems, responsibly deploy AI, combat fraud, and reclaim thousands of hours of manual work through intelligent automation.
🎧 In this conversation, we explore:
- Leading federal modernization efforts from contract win to delivery
- Building a values-driven company you’d be proud to pass on
- Why human-centered, data-driven design delivers real mission impact
- Returning up to 95% of manual processing time back to frontline staff
- Scaling AI, automation, identity management, and fraud detection responsibly
- Creating a Best Place to Work culture in high-stakes environments
- Lessons in leadership, innovation, and balance—especially for women in tech and government
This episode is a must-listen for leaders in government technology, federal IT, AI in the public sector, cybersecurity, data analytics, and mission-driven entrepreneurship.
