This year marks Levy’s fifth Wash100 Award.

“At AWS, Dave is part of a senior leadership team that does the essential work of providing critical technology infrastructure and services for some of our country’s most consequential missions across all domains, from space to the tactical edge and everything in between. By harnessing the power of cloud, AI, IT and software, Dave is leading the charge to put cutting-edge technology into the hands of our warfighters and public sector decision makers. Dave’s bold, innovative vision and his knack for getting things done make him an obvious choice for our 2024 Wash100 list,” commented Jim Garrettson, CEO of Executive Mosaic and founder of the Wash100 Award.

“I am honored to be recognized with the 2024 Wash100 Award, and I look forward to continuing to innovate and develop solutions that help our customers overcome some of the world’s biggest problems. It’s a privilege to lead the AWS Worldwide Public Sector business,” Levy said of the recognition.

“This award reflects our collective efforts to deliver results, enable mission-critical workloads and improve outcomes for citizens, students, patients and individuals in need,” the AWS executive added.

Under Dave’s leadership, AWS is helping public sector, healthcare, education and nonprofit customers use cutting-edge cloud tools to reduce costs, drive efficiencies, increase innovation and deliver their missions. For example, in 2023, AWS announced a new solution called AWS Modular Data Center, designed to provide a streamlined way for defense customers to deploy secure and scalable cloud services that meet their unique requirements. The solution, available through the Department of Defense under the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability, provides defense customers with access to AWS compute, storage and other hybrid services in even the most remote environments.

Levy champions the use of cutting-edge technology in the public sector. In an article published in Forbes, the AWS executive discussed how the public sector can unlock the potential of generative AI.

Levy said there are four areas where generative AI can benefit public sector organizations and the first is the capability of large language models and other generative AI tools to process and analyze large volumes of data, enabling agencies to glean insights and make informed decisions.

He stated that generative AI could help agencies optimize resource allocation through analysis of historical data and demand patterns and could accelerate scientific discoveries by enabling researchers to quickly find information and by serving as an idea generator.

“In the medical field, this could ultimately support faster drug discovery, more accurate disease detection and efficient treatment,” he added.

Levy cited how generative AI could help agencies deliver personalized services to citizens and improve productivity.

He discussed how generative AI-powered chatbots could help manage routine citizen inquiries, how AI-enabled virtual assistants could guide individuals through various processes and how the technology could recommend personalized learning paths for students.

“As generative AI continues to advance, it’s crucial for the public sector to foster the safe, responsible and effective deployment of AI by establishing and implementing the necessary safeguards to protect citizens,” Levy wrote.

“When used responsibly, this technology can revolutionize the way public sector organizations deliver on their missions, helping them make data-driven decisions faster, streamline processes and enhance the experiences of those they serve,” he added.
