Announcing her appointment in a Sunday LinkedIn post, Barbari said she will support GDIT’s mission of redefining national security by integrating artificial intelligence, automation and advanced analytics to outpace threats. “Staying ahead of our adversaries isn’t just about innovation, it’s about transforming the status quo at every level,” the new VP said.
Aaron Bedrowsky, senior vice president of the intelligence and homeland security division at GDIT, welcomed Barbari’s hiring, noting that her experience “is a fantastic addition to the IHS division.” “In her few weeks onboard, she has already demonstrated her collaborative leadership style in a dynamic environment,” he added.
