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

• Scaling AI, automation, identity management, and fraud detection responsibly
• Creating a Best Place to Work culture in high-stakes environments
