Host Mary Ann Brown sits down with Emily Hsu, Senior Director of Solution Strategy at Steampunk, for a lively conversation about strategy, innovation, and leading with purpose in the ever-evolving world of government technology.

Known as a “strategist with soul,” Emily brings both heart and precision to the GovTech space — turning complex challenges into bold, practical solutions that move missions forward. She shares how she balances creativity with execution, builds collaborative teams, and keeps her focus on impact that lasts.

When she’s not driving transformation across federal agencies, Emily’s been helping build real homes and communities through 18 years with Habitat for Humanity — proving that meaningful change always starts with teamwork and follow-through.
