There are very few leaders in federal technology who have helped build, scale, and modernize organizations at the level Sujey Edward has over the last decade.
From helping drive Octo’s extraordinary rise and eventual acquisition by IBM in a deal reportedly valued at approximately $1.2 billion, to serving as a Senior Partner at IBM, Sujey has operated at the center of some of the most important conversations shaping the future of government technology and innovation.
So when he made the move earlier this year to become Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer at Integrated Data Services (IDS), people across the market took notice.
In this conversation, David Blackburn sits down with Sujey to talk about why IDS, why now, and what drew him to an Arlington Capital-backed company that is quietly building serious momentum across the federal landscape.
Known for its deep expertise supporting defense, aerospace, intelligence, space, and civilian agencies, IDS has built a reputation delivering software and mission-focused solutions designed to improve operational visibility, financial management, and efficiency, particularly within the Office of the CFO environment. With proven success supporting complex Department of War missions, the company is now positioning itself for its next phase of growth and expansion.
This discussion dives into what IDS is building, where Sujey sees opportunity in today’s market, the kinds of partnerships the company is pursuing, and how technology, AI, automation, and modernization are reshaping expectations across government.
